turning off ublock is the equivalent of unsafe sex
Much worse.
Unsafe AND less enjoyable!

Ich spreche kein Deutsch, aber ich möchte in den Witz einbezogen werden
Ich bedauere Ihnen mitteilen zu müssen, dass Sie nur mit einwandfreiem, deutschem Sprachgebrauch in diesen Witz einbezogen werden können.
you wouldn’t block a car
I am a bollard in spirit.
“Bollard” is such a fun word.
Setting up pihole or using a similar DNS based blockage of unwanted content is also really great. Some vpns will have this as an option which can make it easy. Doesn’t necessarily protect you from all malicious stuff but it is very effective on dealing with ads and whatnot. Plus dealing with all of that on mobile devices can range from impossible to very difficult
It’s gotten much better in the past few years ln mobile. Firefox for Android has Ublock installed out of the box. You just need to enable it.
And to block trackers in every other app you can use something like TrackerControl on Fdroid. Duckduckgo also has a similar application but I don’t trust them and it’s probably not open source
Oh yeah, I can very much recommend using a pihole, super convenient for those devices in a network that don’t really have any direct way of doing this.
Also a good way of protecting other users in your network who might not be as up to speed when it comes to online privacy and security.
I’ve been using personalDNSfilter on my phone and I can read recipe websites again
That’s great for privacy because there are other things to control other than browser tabs and some devices don’t support ad blockers at all, however modern websites need an extension that can deal with them using ad hoc rules. In the best case blocking ads through DNS will leave you with blank spaces in the page, in the worst pages are completely broken. Also, There are unpleasant popups that is just nice to hide.
I give the same side eye to a site that asks to turn off ad blocks as I do to a woman who tells me “We don’t need a condom.”
Leave some space for Jesus.
Damn rose-tinted glasses almost made me do it once
It may be a shared experience for men because I too have been tempted before.
Overriding lust with logic is a hard thing sometimes.
Having my lust be overridden with her toxicity worked pretty well though
Hard mode gang
