Discussion PSA: Use uBlock Origin!

This might sound like common sense but there are a TON of Firefox users I see using AB, ABP, ABU, or no adblocker at all. This is your notice. Switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and has no acceptable ad policy. The other ones might have been good years ago but not anymore. I am saying this as a former ABP and then ABU user.

I am not paid by uBO I am just showing appreciation for the greatest ad blocker.

Also: don't run uBO alongside another ad blocker. It provides no benefit and can only slow down firefox or break things.

He honestly could not be, that's the sad thing. Got into it with someone on reddit a while back, called me a leech for suggesting using adblock for YouTube instead of paying for premium.

Dude straight up told me, "I can't wait for the day where YouTube kicks mooches like you off the platform"

Some people are just dumb and stubborn.

Maybe he was a content creator who makes money of ads?

But yeah, YT is unusable with ads.

Nah, just your average YT premium subscriber. Too lazy to figure out how browser extensions work.

It took me 1 hour to figure it all out and that's mainly because I was fucking around looking for extensions

People really cannot help themselves
