> We’re in the paradox that it is possible to claim there is no ad on a browser because you don’t look at them when they appear

I didn't make that claim. I just said I immediately close them and don't mind them much because I basically only restart the browser when I reboot the PC (so about once a month because after that all kinds of bugs start to appear).

Of course I see them as problem, I assumed that was obvious from the rest of my comment.
