I have a dream that some day all browsers come with builtin uBlock.

I wish I could install it for everybody. Browsing the Web and watching Youtube is such a different experience with adblock.


I think YouTube has an okay monetization policy, it's nowhere near as malicious as a random recipe blog with 19 ads and auto playing videos


Why is it that after 11PM YouTube will randomly show me ads that are entire movies long, like 90 minutes long? Do they think I am asleep and want to charge their ad client full price for the view?


There's an inherent conflict of interest here - much of our computing tools today is built for "growth and engagement" which is why no mainstream browser has it - the only holdouts so far are Apple and Linux distributions.
