The thing is ad blockers have been around since somebody put the first pop up on their website. We are talking mid 90s ancient history here. And once someone has installed an ad blocker they are converted for life.

I wonder if this is why smartphone apps are taking over? Much easier to inject ads that cannot be easily blocked.

Tailscale+AdGuard are the new pop up blockers and browsers with extensions for the masses.

Cracking apps on Android that remove the ads and other garbage from popular apps are the new leet proggies.
