With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Except most people don't use adblock. I don't even know how they live

I forget that these people exist sometimes. I can’t ever go back to the internet with no ad blockers.

You realize the Internet costs money. Those sites don't charge due to advertising. If everyone used ad blocker. There wouldn't be internet.

But blind there

I suspect they spend most of their time in apps and not surfing the internet. Just a guess really since I saw the mobile traffic exceeded desktop. A lot of people don't spend hours on the "internet" surfing. Tic Tok sure. Hell I'm getting more and more like that. Even when I use chrome I still only go the the same sites for the most part. lol

It could be a good thing. Maybe they won't bother about people blocking ads because they become even less than before.

So maybe you need to pause the ad block a lot less.

Ah, you met my parents.

I had to install ublock origin on my mother's Chrome because she never would otherwise. Doesn't even know how.
