…without an ad blocker? I was on a computer today that didn't have one, and it was completely unbearable! DBO was fine, but youtube was a nightmare. SIXTY SECOND unskippable ads before videos. Other websites were filled with so much shit! A bunch of times I had to dismiss popups, and overlays in the same window.
Even sites I would not expect to suck like arstechnica had giant ads taking up the entire backgrounds.
Literally. How does anybody without an ad blocker not want to just kill themselves?
I can't express how awesome it is to have Bungie.org ad free. Thank you Claude. Seriously. I don't remember it being this horrendous! Is this what money does to things? The internet wasn't this shitty in 1994.
