Do you guys even know of Adblock Plus?
(lemdro.id)
I literally haven't seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I'm wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.
I have been using ABP for many years until someday don't remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is "the best ad blocker".
I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird
And do you recall when the obnoxious banners and pop ups during shows started to happen with regularity?
Given the above, what factors would you figure contributed to the decline of that type of ad?
Precisely
I bet the people who hunted animals to extinction thought the same. At some point it stops being worth the effort to make another.
See my previous statement about animal extinction
And another like you will complain about it, block it, and the cycle continues while the masses complain about how it wasn't this bad before without an ounce of consideration to their own part in the whole thing. Wanna guess how I know?
This whole paragraph looks like it's supposed to be some kind of gotcha. It's not. I've made it very clear from the start what I'm against is blocking all ads. By all means block the ones that are legitimately malicious. But I remember when the blocker in the post announced they'd be allowing non-malicious ads, which met certain published criteria, to go through the blocking. Ublock was the new darling pretty much overnight.
I do block various ads and trackers. I do not blanket block everything that could be considered an ad.
