I don't know how anyone lives without it.
Fuuck I run 12 adblockers at once to chew up all ads and burn them.
they're used to it. my mother forbid me from setting up ad protection on her phone, because she's used to them and didn't want to learn how to switch it off when necessary (e.g. when it breaks a site she needs)
I use Blokada 5 on my phone to block ads and trackers and the fucking banking app stops working if I have it turned on. FFS you already have my money why did you guys need to harvest more of my data (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
uBlock Origin's easy mode does not break any website. uBO Lite for Chrome based browsers on basic protection works in same way.
