A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Anyone and Everyone with the slightest of computer knowledge but paid shills are plugging ublock origin everywhere and anywhere they can , and yet people still choose other garbages. You'd think that maybe they'll see that tiny 'sponsored' text on top of the search result when looking for an adblock and go " why an adblock would advertise itself on search engines? this reeks of garbage, data siphoning bullshit adblock " but no, they even go as far as to defend it. I can't even bother with these people anymore.
Adblock Plus was the only decent adblocker available for Internet Explorer 11 a couple of years ago. Only reason I used it.
I'm not sure you know what a couple is. Also, arguing with IE of all browsers is not going to make a strong case either.
Point at the case, because mine was an affirmation that it wasn't good as I reluctantly used it.
I miss when people trusted nerds instead of corporations. Applies to a variety of fields.
