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.

@hacks4pancakes I've been making this argument for literal years. Even after the NSA and DISA weighed in recommending them (again, as a SECURITY MEASURE) it doesn't seem like it's gotten any better.

With Google push to break ad blocking, I've been pushing the people in my life to ditch Chrome and implement add blockers on software that share privacy values (eg Firefox with strict settings and plugins). I suggest host or network filters too.

It's a hassle and it breaks things, but its needed.
