    I do use uBlock Origin. But I’m not allowed to do so (and do not have the privilege to do it anyways) on my work devices. My PiHole takes care of a part of the ads for these, when I work from home, but still…

    Also there’s a decent chance, that $App finds a way to shove ads down your throat anyways, though there aren’t many apps left that try to show ads, as I consider that a ban able offense that’s worth a Deinstallation without warning

      What would a workplace have against adblockers???

      Do they WANT viruses on work computers? Adware exists and is a threat.

        Nah, but they mandate chrome based browsers, and after manifest V2 was removed…

        We do still have ad blockers, but they do not work as effectively as before.
