Incredible.

It’s actually disturbing seeing a YouTuber have a site up and the page will be covered in ads. How do you even function omg

Most sites are an absolute mess without ad blocker :pain:

In fairness, computer science is not ‘know about computers’ but ‘know about this mathematical-adjacent concept’.

But yes, the penetration of Chrome and people’s completely apathy to adblockers is deeply upsetting to me. Did we fight the IE wars for nothing?!

These kids have grown up in a different era. Some don’t know about torrenting anymore :kitty-cri-screm:

This.

Many Zoomers don’t know about torrenting, about basic file directories, about adblockers, using firefox, etc.

The whole “computer as your house” aesthetic, which definitely includes using linux, is just absent in Zoomers. Probably because they mostly use phones.

I have a second profile on chrome (yeah yeah leave me alone) for my school account and our university doesn’t allow extensions on it, so no adblock there

Depending how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go, you could use an ad blocking DNS server like Adguard or NextDNS
