Had my boss trying to grab a pdf (crosswords, colouring pages, printed for kids in a pub) while using Chrome without any adblock extensions.
The volume of ads, trick links, and shite on that one website in particular was outstanding. She asked me if a link was OK to click. Promptly pointed out she should use Firefox (which has unlock and other extensions added) instead of chrome as the link she had clicked was for some sketchy software and not a crossword.
I can’t imagine the internet without ad blockers. Ublock is a great addition, removing elements from pages is a huge advantage. So many sites sling rubbish wherever they can.

Yep, i use UBlock as well as a second layer of defense. As Asher Roth says “when it comes to condoms, put two on”.
Edit: Just in case, do not actually use two condoms. They will break each other and you will end up a father.
But also don’t. They will shred each other and you’ll get a baby.
It really is bad advice. And I don’t know why the song promotes it.
