    What’s annoying is when I don’t even have an ad blocker. I use ublock origin which blocks privacy invading scripts. Its not my problem that your ads a spyware and sometimes even malware

      Nah, ublock origin is absolutely an ad blocker. It can and does do the basics of, “remove annoying DOM element”.

      Saying it’s not an ad blocker is like saying a truck isn’t a car (car as in vehicle) because it can tow things, too.

        First sentence in the description:

        uBlock Origin is not an “ad blocker”, it’s a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature.

        That like saying a road is for cars. When you can drive your truck and motorcycle on it. (to use your analogy) A road and uBlock can do other things than the one they do the most.
