As others have mentioned you are going to have a tough time seeing much on the web without it but I guess it would be a good way to see the web with like zero corpo stuff.
for that reason i block it via uBlock origin because it is an operational reality that i need to see that shit sometimes. the only uBlock origin origin that never gets toggled is wix. that shit can stay the fuck off my screen
this is one reason I have not been very motivated to block ads. its kinda something I want to know about because holy trump they are just lowest common denominator at this point. There is just a whole cesspool that people who have not seen adds since before covid are unaware of.
