    The modern Internet is completely unusable without an ad blocker. Way to remake ie6, Google!

        I already know a few people who were just marginally digitally literate, and now they can’t read things like news articles and access several kinds of services anymore, unless someone helps them, because they don’t property know how to close invasive popups and solve captchas.

        The internet is literally becoming unusable for some people.

          I’m in my mid 60s and know a few people that never even heard the term “browser extension” before. How they tolerate using the web with no ad blocking is beyond me.
