I have been on the internet before the world wide web was invented, and I still do not use an ad blocker. Not because I don’t understand why people use them, but because I refuse to subscribe to the world that needs them. Kinda why I am on Lemmy, and why I donate a lot of money to keep it going.

Except that ad blockers also provide protection against malware, phishing and tracking. Having no ad blocker on is like having a one night stand over and over again without ever using a condom. Might work out for years on end, until you finally get infected
