What ads? My browser blocks ads. My vpn blocks ads. I pay for email so don’t see ads there. I pay for search so I don’t see ads there, either. I self host media. My TV doesn’t connect to the internet.
I seriously never see ads.
👍 Well done there. Using Brave, DDG, Ecosia and Firefox. Got Mulvad, got Tuta. Pay for search? Who with? Moving towards self hosting. Just ditched internet on my TV.
I pay for Kagi search.
Yes. This suggestion is for folks that are tired of constant ads. Not folks that are already doing what i just suggested lol
