why not have UBLOCK origin.

I have recently had a funny discussion with a husband of my wife's friend. In short, he's not an IT guy but does run ad blockers on each browser and device as he can. He was wondering why people wont use ad blockers since it is trivial to install and even chrome uBO lite works well on youtube (dunno about that fact, I have migrated to FF as soon as they announced Manifest V3)

Normies just wont. It is just not what they do. And they are the majority.

I'm kinda glad they won't. If I tell you how easy it is to install an ad blocker and you don't, you're just funding my leeching through your data and time that you claim has no value.
