Google’s anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

    Nah, most people are dumb, they will just continue to complain and assume there is nothing they can do.

      Yeah but even dumb people when annoyed enough will listen to alternatives. Specially when this one is so damn easy. It’s not like editing config files or changing partitions, it’s just using another damn browser.

        Youre giving them too much credit. Most will just accept fate and deal with the ads.

          Actually nevermind you’re right. Dumb people never had an ad blocker on in the first place :D

        The key is “annoyed enough”. I personally know many people who have never used adblockers and don’t see why they’re necessary.
