   Adblocking isn't unethical. Covering your website in trackers, spying on users, and compromising their security to make a buck is.

      People keep telling me to use Adnauseum, an ad blocker that clicks on ads to give them the profit they desire while actually blocking them all.

      I'm not helping to give companies profit for a corrupt business practice that is compromising the security of users. It's telling them the business model works and to continue in an extremely 'I'm alright, Jack. Just carry on fucking everyone else over instead' way and I despise it.

      Build a better model.

         @sophia I've recently given Brave a second chance after they finally ditched their Electron/Muon codebase. In your opinion, is the model they propose a better fit for web revenue?
