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.

I don't use ad blockers because I don't like advertising companies, I do it because I don't have any reason to trust them.

Suppose that you had a friend who claimed that they were a completely self-taught driver, had no driver's license and had still managed to be behind the wheel for several spectacular accidents within the last month. And suppose that they asked to borrow your car.

But how can you... Trust any other software, to that matter? Do you only use certified (by who?) software, like, in general, ever?

And that analogy doesn't really make sense for me, since, at least where I live, it's a crime to knowingly let a person without driving license use your car. Even if that wouldn't be the case, I would rather see that friend drive myself regardless of license, because I know how many people either bribe their way through getting a driver license (which I hope is specific to where I live), or just don't give a fuck about law, or logic, whatsoever, after getting one.
