I often entirely forget that youtube and most of the internet is plagued with ads. It's a shock to use a family member's phone or laptop that does not have adblock
As a good friend and son, I of course installed unlock origin for them. Even the light version in Chrome if I have to. Their phones I did not touch though.
The Internet is practically unusable without adblock. Rawdogging the web you get a postage stamp sized amount of content bordered by flashing ads and video ads. No fuckin thanks homie
