Remember when Google introduced text-only ads to replace flashing animated banners and pop-up ads popular at the time? I didn’t mind those and I didn’t need an adblocker.

Nowadays YouTube is the primary reason I have to use an adblocker. It is literally unusable with all the ads.

    Once upon a time people would have thought it was crazy to try controlling how someone interacts with your content on the internet.

    I don’t remember anyone asking if we were okay with changing that.
