The day i remove my adblocker is the day... ah who am i kidding, i will never uninstall my adblocker.

t doesn’t say more people overall use ad blockers. It says people that were already using them are now switching between different extensions. Let’s wait and see if this increases Firefox’s market share. This could be the real good outcome of all this.

That's literally the first thing after I install any new system.

get firefox on a stick so I don't have to open deprecated explorer or have to download Edge
install firefox, get ad blocker extension
then remove/turn off all the recommended shit that are now embedded to your start menu and task bar and lock screen. (I wish there is a github FOSS script that does this for new windows builds. )

I will abandon windows when the games can all be played on Linux properly.
