Ad blockers are also cybersecurity. Say it with me.
They reduce malvertising, watering hole attacks, and general malicious script execution. It’s not all about you, ad firms.
Tindra@hacks4pancakes I’d happily return to classic, static, lovingly hand-placed on each page by the admin, banner ads.
Those were at least usually relevant to my interests!
/dave/null 🥃💻@TindrasGrove I am always wondering about this, whenever the rare occasion occurs that I browse the web on a machine without all the blockers installed. Not sure if it's maybe because these ads are not properly "personalized" (yet(?)) due to being either new or not my machines.
But the ads are generally always very bad as in: the products don't interest me at all. They would be much better off basing ads on page contents instead.

@unixb0y I tend to find the ads are related to some web page I visited a week prior.
Krupo@TindrasGrove @hacks4pancakes artisanal hand crafted ads.
Autocorrect wanted to change the "d" in ads to an "s".... Nice.

There’s no reason the ads need to track us
The ad companies used to have to work harder to bullshit businesses into paying them to fill space in non-interactive print
We could go back to that. It’d still be for manipulative #advertising bullshit, but less invasive
