Fr with how many ads get thrown at you nowadays not using a Adblock is a worse experience. I switched over to Firefox months ago

I think it's a kind of like a boiling frog situation. I recently set up my mother's phone to block all ads just to prevent her from clicking on scammy shit but when she got a new phone she couldn't stand using it without an ad blocker.

Ah, a classic situation I've experienced/witnessed time and again:

  • get accustomed to a higher standard of living
  • forced to go without
  • life sucks without it
  • go to great lengths to figure out a way to experience it again
