If you've clicked an ad, you've already lost to marketers. If you've seen one, you've lost too.

Indeed. We should just block all marketing, absolutely no exceptions. Drive their return on investment as close to zero as humanly possible.

_I_ know how to remove the crap when sharing the link. Other people don't. This is why we need extensions like this.

It's not fun to get a 2048 character long URL to a product linked to me on mobile, where it literally doesn't fit on the screen all at once. =)
