> There's so many places other than "the browser" to see ads, to even question that seems like not really having knowledge of what the Internet is used for in 2024.
I understand that many people use apps and smart TV sticks, but I'd forgotten that many have ads. I use some apps, but none that have ads.
My family use apps but say that they appreciate targeted ads.
Yea sorry I've updated my comment to reflect the fact the way I phrased that was quite rude - my apologies.
For the silly games my kids play on their iPad, blocking ads means they can "skip" ahead quite often instead of being forced to watch an ad before they're allowed to try again/progress to the new level. They're subject to enough advertising with Youtube anyway, just from all the content they watch that's subtle advertising.
