I literally haven’t seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I’m wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.

I have been using ABP for many years until someday don’t remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is “the best ad blocker”.

I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird

    If you have so little attention to spare that an ad along side or even within content is too far for you how did you find the time to comment?

    Good on you for looking for free options. On the other hand that furthers the question about how much attention would really cost you…

      how did you find the time to comment?

      I enjoy commenting. I don’t enjoy ads.

      Yeah, like YouTube for instance – that was the cool part: It was free.

      how much attention would really cost you

      I imagine that is up to each person. Fortunately, no one is mandating that you use an adblocker, so you are free to do as you please. Far be it from me to condescend to you for something so inconsequential to me.

      I’ve donated to keep this server running because I’m willing to do so. If the admin asked me to watch ads instead, I’d decline.
