Adblock lol

(If you are still using Adblock, I beg you, switch to ublock origin. Adblock takes money from advertisers to not block their shit.)

Adblock user = noob

I read the comic as referring to adblocking software as opposed to any specific extension. I can't pinpoint what gives me that idea though so who knows

That's weird because it's both the icon of the app, and the exact name.

Yeah but nobody uses that one anymore and its become kind of an archetypal thing.

Maybe that's the point of the comic. He only uses the popular brands.

...oh shit, was this an ad for adblock?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using adblock plus (not sure if it's the same one), I've never seen an ad not be blocked by it. Where does this happen?

uBlock origin was just taken down for me, automatically uninstalled. I've returned to my noob roots and gotten Adblock in the meantime, and MAN is it just not the same as uBlock
