    I recently met someone who knew how to torrent and use Anna’s archive etc…but didn’t use an adblocker 😷

    They didn’t even know adblockers exist

        It also means the browser extension stores do a very good job hiding adblockers unless you specifically seek them out

          Eeh not really, uBlock lite is in the “popular addons” section in the top 3 ans you can see it from the home page and searching “adblock” find you plenty of results so it’s just the user not asking himself how they can stop advertisement
