Ad-blocking. Install uBlock Origin on your Firefox and enjoy the internet.

Sucks to be a Chrome user today since Google neutered uBlock.

But really, people undervalue the capability of uBlock. It blocks a lot. I can watch Tubi content - adfree. I can get Netflix's $7 base plan with ads and no ads with uBlock. Same with generally any streaming service. Has a bit of a trouble working with Twitch which lead to me dropping Twitch altogether.

But man people are missing out a lot and just putting up with so much shit that they don't ever have to if they'd just shut up, download Firefox and uBlock and just get with the rest of us.

I'd say contribute some $ to free software, especially when it's as good as uBO. However, even Gorhill doesn't want money, but encourages contributions to filterlists.

Oh, absolutely! If you find that a particular FOSS project deserves your money, you really should donate.
