No, everyone agrees that ads are annoying. I install uBlock Origin on every single browser I come across. Every single time, people take notice almost immediately. They always tell me the internet just feels so much nicer. Many times they can't explain why, they just know.

Ads are a blight on the modern web. Everyone prefers the low-noise version.




They can't explain that they are not seening popups every 5s is better?


Not in my experience. People usually just ignore annoying stuff. They don't even read anything, it barely registers on their minds. I've seen people browsing a website get extremely confused when some newsletter bullshit pops up in front of the content. They immediately start searching for a close button to get rid of it. They assume annoyances like that are an inevitable part of life on the internet.

With uBlock Origin we can show them a better world.
