I agree to the point that I can't imagine using the internet without uBlock installed.

I don’t install anything on my work computer that I can’t say 100% is used for work so I could never justify uBlock. It does make a HUGE difference. The web without it is a giant mess.

It's easy to justify as a security measure, given the amount of malicious ads trying to serve up exploits.

Maybe they don't browse the web either, I mean... unless it's 100% justified for work...

MSDN used to be on the web and more updated than the CD-ROMS they mailed out for subscribers.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/

It is the help program of Visual Studio and other apps.

Managers would check http://msn.microsoft.com/ which had their stocks in it.

I only used the web for work, nothing else. I didn't use my company email for newsgroups and website signups I used my Hotmail account instead that kept the spam there.

Yeah I work from home and have a personal device on my desk. I wouldn’t even check the weather on my office device!

Same here! I was pleasantly surprised when they set me up and it was already there.

Same. They do it as a security measure.

My company blocks addons on Chrome so I browse non-internal sites on Firefox just for uBlock.

Sadly on iOS there is no ublock

I've had decent luck with Blokada

The nice thing is that it's open source
