    Both (all) ads are bad though. I would rather have none of them while surfing the web. NextDNS and uBlock has been such a friend over the years for me regarding that 🥰

        Advertisement directly injected into the video stream (such as Twitch/Netflix) can be harder to block for any current adblockers

          Makes sense and ironically it’s the only one which bothers me. I keep getting ads to join the police and buy a car. Practically nothing else. I see ads because I don’t have the money to buy tier without ads. How can I afford a car in their opinion? I don’t even speak the local language, how may I join the police? I wish trackers actually gave you relevant ads. They spy on you for no customer related reason. I only like sidebar ads reminding me of clothes I’ve browsed because sometimes I change my mind.

              Sponsor block didn’t work for me on YouTube. I use Firefox on Linux. Did you have any issue with it or had to set it up???

                Didn’t had any issue with it so far. Not sure what you’re facing though. It just has some basic setup (nothing complicated). Maybe look to one of the step-by-step guide on the internet to find out where things are going wrong?
