It does what the name suggests: it blocks ads on web pages leaving you with a lot cleaner interface. On some pages the change is purely cosmetic but others like YouTube are completely unusable without one. Why don’t just give it a shot and see by yourself. Look for the uBlock Origin extension for your browser and see how you like it. You can easily toggle it on and off and see how different sites look. It takes literally 30 seconds to install.
Thanks, Thorny Insight. I’ve never felt the need to install an ad blocker, but perhaps I should, just to see the internet the way everyone else does these days.
Definitely do! uBlock Origin is the best one around, and it’s completely free. Even without configuring anything the defaults block 99% of annoying ads.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen ads with ublock on Firefox. Just the reminders that I am using an ad block and whether I could turn it off, pretty please?
