We should stop calling them “ad blockers”. If a site serves up a few banner ads as images like the old days, that’s fine. I don’t object to a site paying the bills, or seeing a banner ad.

They’re malware blockers and privacy protections. I don’t want a site popping up bullshit and trying to track me across the net. If that’s what a site is serving, it’s more than an ad, and I absolutely want to block it.

6/ First: Because I mentioned quote posting doesn't mean I am unaware that it's available/will be available here, too. That's not why I stay on Bsky. It's the news sources.

2. I'll still be here, because I love chatting with you. I just don't want to double post.
