Doesn’t the user have to specifically turn that option on?
I was replying to
>but has an option to then show its own ads instead, which is not.
While conceptually sure they offer ad replacement, technically they sort of dont. Ads support their product, and their product blocks ads. You can turn off the support ads, you can turn off ad blocking. They are two independent unrelated features.
To be clear, the software pops up OS level ad notifications, whether you visit sites with ads to block or not. The two features are independent of each other.
It may still be a gray area, but its unfair to paint it as what its not.
