> every page That's a bit hyperbolic. The areas of the internet I frequent do not have egregious ads (for example, this page). Areas where I really would like good ad-blocking (youtube) are often not covered by these ad blockers. Thankfully Youtube Premium isn't too expensive and solves that issue. Maybe it's better these days but I always found browser extensions (including uBlock) had a pretty big performance hit, so I've always shied away from them (with the exception of a password manager). | ||

> Thankfully Youtube Premium isn't too expensive and solves that issue. True, but some of us refuse to give that company money on principle. The minute I can't watch YouTube without ads is the minute I stop watching YouTube. (The creators I follow make way more money off me on Patreon than Google would ever pay them, anyway.) > I always found browser extensions (including uBlock) had a pretty big performance hit I always found that not using uBO was a pretty big performance hit. :) | ||

uBlock causes a huge performance improvement for most regular people's computers. | ||

adblock works well with regular youtube ads (not the one inside the actual content). | ||
