adblockers like uBlocker Origin was even better for low speed internet than amp.

Well, I do appreciate my ad revenue to pay my team members and myself so I won't be the one recommending that.

Of course, harming people always pays well, doesn't make it something you should be proud of.

I read the comment in a different light. He or she is not exactly proud just admitting to the current circumstance. Specifically with this phrase

> so I won't be the one recommending that.

Hot Take: If your website needs ads to survive, it wasn't that good to begin with.

Cold Take: I never mentioned survival, so take this word back to your imagination.

Turning of javascript completely breaks so many sites, but it is much, much, much faster to browse the web that way. I run Ublock Origin and it is great, but you are often still paying the javascript price.
