It is amazing when you visit a city that has banned billboards especially when coming from one that does not.

It's the same (opposite) feeling you get when watching an ad free streaming service and the switch to live TV or Prime. Which is just like switching to a browser with out uBO.

If society went 30 days with a universal uBO experience, I think all wars would end, cats & dogs sleeping together, shields would become plow. You know, basically peace on earth.

Every once in a while I end up with a browser without adblocker. It baffles me how anyone would want to use the WWW like that. I cannot fathom, they're missing out, but at the end: those people plus the ones paying for services (which is sometimes me) are financing the platforms.
