Repeat after me...

"There are NO ads on the Internet."

That's true if you're using Mozilla Firefox along with uBlock Origin with all sources enabled, alongside with Privacy Badger.

I have not seen a single ad, anywhere, for well over a year! -- I'm not joking.

@benni

I'd like to know what website you're seeing ads on.

benni,

@Linux_Is_Best youtube or podcasts for instance because many creators do them for themself in their videos/podcasts. some sites which requires adblock removal.

@benni

No ad on YouTube. In fact, every movie on this page plays ad free for me

This is Google's YouTube free with ad selection and I see no ads.

https://www.youtube.com/feed/storefront?bp=ogUCKAY%3D

I don't ever disable my ad blocker.

@Linux_Is_Best this are not usual youtuba ads, but ads recorded by the creators. "this video is sponsored by..." i am sure you see them, too. if not i would be VERY interested about your setup ;)

@benni

But I really would like it if you provided me a URL where you think you see an ad

wouldnt touch privacy badger with a barge pole, a pale shadow of uBlock Origin

@dekkzz76

You're missing out.

uBlock with all sources enabled, plus Privacy Badger alongside, for the win!

@Linux_Is_Best

@dekkzz76

It is my experience that it does not mess with other add-ons and works just fine alongside uBlock.

But whatever, you do you.
