These 2 screenshots are 1 minute apart, after leaving the tab open on the Steam web browser. I was showing a friend that they started putting banner ads between comments now, and then more popped up. Reminds me of ROM sites in the early 2000s.

If you haven’t been using an adblocker since the early 2000’s, but actually remember what it was like back then… Why?

Haha, I would never do that to myself. I just get a quick glimpse of the bare 'net when I try the web browser built into Steam. My DNS is mostly filtering telemetry right now, while I leave the bulk of the blocking to uBlock Origin.
