I don't think I can tolerate the web without an ad blocker.

I can't imagine navigating the web without an ad-blocker.

I don't know how people tolerate the web without ad-block

Fully agree with you there. I can't use the internet without an ad blocker.

I can't use the internet without an ad blocker. Literally an overwhelming experience that makes it impossible to focus.

I feel awful for using an ad blocker sometimes, but I sometimes have no choice.

On my Windows 10 tablet, a feeble device with 1GB of RAM, the web is unusable without one.

I still don't understand how anyone uses the web without an ad blocker.

Somehow I don't trust an ad blocker that comes from Google.

Don't worry I'm the same!

If you use an ad blocker for a long time, it's easy to forget how bad the web can be without one.

The web without an ad blocker is essentially unusable.

AnIdiotOnTheNet | karma 21390 | avg karma 2.72 · | 2019-02-17 20:05:50+00:00

I'd go farther and say that the web is basically unusable without an ad blocker.

I don't like looking at ads so I block them.

MomoXenosaga | karma 1703 | avg karma 1.37 · | 2021-12-07 06:01:45

Last time I tried reading a website without an ad blocker my sanity got compromised.

jasonvorhe | karma 1430 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2024-01-06 05:04:18

I don't use the Internet without strict ad blocking, so that's a no for me.

sidcool | karma 15724 | avg karma 3.54 · | 2017-04-12 03:45:06+00:00

Honestly, I won't use an ad-blocker if the ads weren't so creepily targeted and so annoyingly pervasive. Hell, I don't even mind looking and clicking on some ads if they are not intrusively shoved down my throat.

flyingfences | karma 1560 | avg karma 2.69 · | 2018-03-25 22:55:54+00:00

I'll never understand how people live without ad blockers.

neom | karma 14454 | avg karma 3.87 · | 2023-12-08 12:07:53

I can't imagine browsing sites without an adblocker.

kybernetyk | karma 4174 | avg karma 3.29 · | 2014-01-18 12:00:04+00:00

Without ad blockers I would be back to using gopher and usenet.

jjbinx007 | karma 1432 | avg karma 7.12 · | 2022-02-12 04:12:18

I tried browsing without an ad blocker recently and I wasn't prepared for how horrendous it is. The web is borderline unusable without an ad blocker.

Here's the thing: I'm not against ads. I used to quite enjoy ads in newspapers and magazines.

I really can't stand browsing without an ad blocker nowadays. This is the reason I do it at all on the mobile.
