    Blocking ad blocks is insane. Ad block is a lazy person’s DNS filter. A real filter is a DNS whitelist. This is what I run. I default to blocking everything. You have this fundamental right to only allow whomever you wish into your home. If that right is gone. Someone stole your front door and you should consider the internet dead and as useless as the democracy that is also dead.

      Obviously this is aimed at the simple one click solutions like ublock origin that are far more widely used and therefore impact ad revenue more. The relatively few tech savvy people who get around it with more complicated solutions don’t matter in the big picture.
