And it's always the same, AI-slop looking ad. I don't even know if I have sleep apnea, I just snore really loud sometimes cuz of my sinus issues.

How the fuck people don't know about adblockers in 2026 will constantly astonish me.

Ublock origin or the Brave browser is so easy to use

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 200 points 4 days ago (6 children)

TBH I still cannot believe there are people using the internet without ad block in 2026

[–] BeckyStjerne@nord.pub 56 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I put it back on and it's working, thanks for reminding me

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 49 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Dont worry, I will always be the snarky asshole who talks down to people for not being like me any chance I get

Fun fact: it is trivially easy and costs $0 to track an individual through their ad identifier. They're not supposed to uniquely identify people, but you really just have to drill down like a dozen or so variables and you'll uniquely identify just about anyone with a smart phone.

Hey, random person for whom this describes, are you

-Aged 30-34 -White -Male -Educated -Spends a lot of time near you work address -Spends a lot of time near you home address -Spends some time where you vacation the exact time you usually vacation there -Is a 49ers fan -Likes artisanal coffee -Android user -Listens to late 90s and early 00s metal -Wears pants size 38/32.

Guess what there's like 3 of you in the world. And we can get all 3 ad ids in the real time bidding market and track all 3 of you until we deduce which one is you.

Now I know where any person for whom I perform these steps is located, basically in real time.

It's that bad. It's a well known issue with I guess too much money behind it to fix? Idk.

Issue, that's cute. It's by design.

Yeah if we want to post every mildly infuriating ad in the world, we’re going to be here a while.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

I sometimes do it on a new machine/browser, and it's like staring into hell

[–] BeckyStjerne@nord.pub 17 points 4 days ago

Fair, I used it for the site but it kept not playing the audio

[–] Thaurin@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I think most people on the internet don’t even know what a browser extension is. Most people are not very interested in customizing or tweaking their computer beyond “push this button, stuff I want comes out.”

This really is the correct answer. I also beg you to install Ublock origin.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I too choose this guy's uBlock Origin.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And my uBlock Origin!

You get ads? I thought we were smarter than this on Lemmy.

[–] DrFunkenstein@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hey be nice, everyone's gotta learn something for the first time

Why you little....

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Some of us are still getting up to speed.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

ublock Origin or AdNauseam is the cure to your ailment. Speaking of quality of life improvements any degoogled or privacy oriented browser is also an improvement. Personally I use Zen browser, not as hardened as other browsers but good enough for me and has nice features and design aswell :)

You use Google Chrome don't you?

two and a half decades into the 21st century and you're browsing without an ad blocker?

Sleep apnea and bukake are linked? No wonder...
