Who actually sees ads? Between NextDNS or PiHole and ublock origin, I haven’t seen an ad in years.
People who are not tech savvy and let’s face it, that’s most people. Ask random people on the street if they know what DNS is and you’ll have a lot of people not having a clue. Maybe more will know about ad blockers but my parents, for example, would have no idea if it weren’t for me installing an ad blocker on their systems.
Sure. But you can install a plug-in if you aren’t tech savvy. You can also run something with ad blocking turned on by default.
Ad-blocking on the browser level is enough for most people to never see an ad again.
Except "native ads" posing as legitimate content.
