Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?

Tsuki@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 233 points –

I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Personally I use ublock origin. Adblock sold out years ago and now companies can pay them to get around their blocker.

I haven’t used Adblock in years for precisely this reason. uBlock Origin is the best choice, IMO. Except for a vanilla browser that’s necessary for work (my uni’s systems hate privacy due to the rats’ nest of interconnecting external SaaS vendors), I don’t even consider using a desktop browser without UBO, Privacy Badger, and deCentralEyes.

Edit: typo

Totally agree with uBO and Privacy Badger. Although I moved away from Decentraleyes and into LocalCDN - because I've heard it's maintained better.
