Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

How would getting rid of ads work? Like logistically? Is a fancy box for your product an ad? Is eye-level placement of a product on a shelf an ad? Is the make and model branding in a vehicle an ad?
I would love to see less ads, or no ads, I’ve done all I can to remove them from my life entirely, but the magic wish kind of removal of them seems… impossible
It would work the way the internet worked before google and facebook monetised monitoring everyone to sell ads, people who want a website paying to host it, and if they are a company charge for whatever they are selling.
You mean the ads on the side of the screen that told you to play some interactive game in them so they could install malware? Ads of some form were always a thing on the internet, first in forum posts then to website ads then Google started essentially buying ad space on other websites, and paid you for it. I hate Google but when that first came out at least most ads weren’t filled with malware at that point.
Yes ads have always existed in some areas of the internet but weren’t central to the entire thing, they were more usually a way of earning a tiny bit extra on the side.
Sure but it’s not like it was all sunshine and roses either, there were more frequent malicious ads but then again maybe those who are brain dead clicking everything in site (pun intended) should get blocked from the internet with a ransom attack encrypting their drive lmaoo
