I have said it before, and I’ll say it again.

An adblocker is part on my security suite on my computer.

Ads can be hijacked to spread malware, and unless the site owner agrees to take both financial and legal liability for the possible dammage caused by their website I will never consider removing my adblocker.

If they agreed to take on the responsibility, I still wouldn’t remove my adblocker, but I would consider it.

I mean, even CIA recommends the use of an adblocker for personal cybersecurity.

  The FBI too recommends adblockers as part of general web browsing security.

On top of three letter agencies, basically every cybersecurity expert that publishes a “basic tweaks” article recommends uBlock Origin.

What’s your preferred adblocker?

  Ublock origin does a pretty solid job, I’m always mildly horrified when I have to use a browser without it. Is that really what other people see when they browse the web?

  uBlock Origin is the gold standard, but you need something that supports the full version. Plain Chrome (and most forks) are not good enough.
  
  Firefox, Helium, and/or Orion would be my top picks.

    This is basically the definition of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
