76 percent of cybersecurity experts use ad blockers.
I’m a bit worried about that other 24%. How expert are they if they don’t recognize the risk?
Does anyone actually believe this garbage?
I don’t think that that is true in any so-called developed world nation. Think of your friends; how many know what an ad-blocker is? Who don’t use the browser that came installed on the pc/phone?
It’s almost as if companies have gone a bit overboard with advertising. Huh. Didn’t see that coming…
Good. Ad blocking is security and anyone that tells you different both doesn’t care about your computer security, and also wants to sell you something.
That 2/3 to 3/4 of computer programmers, computer security experts and advertisers seems low. I feel like that should be closer to 90%
Once I had to use the internet without and ad blocker ( shiver ). It was horrible. I still have nightmares.
Joking aside. I couldn’t believe how crammed full and chaotic sites were without an ad blocker. I have no evidence to support this other than my experience but I think , for me , ad blockers are good for my mental health. Being constantly exposed to all those messages trying to exploit insecurities can’t be good for people.
Anyways ad blockers are the best.
SponsorBlock - for anyone interested in taking their ad blocking hobby to the next level.
Good, your attention is a commodity, don’t let advertisers steal it. We’ve been assaulted with enough ads in public spaces already.
It is literally wasting the most valuable thing we have, our lifetime.
i always lol about people opposing ad blockers.
oh no! my favorite unethical multinational conglomerate now has a few bucks less!
how can anybody see this as a bad thing? ad blocking is cybersecurity.
