When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they’re surfing on their browsers. I’ve just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We’ve heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they’re surfing without extensions. Whether it’d be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I’ve long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would’ve long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

    You’re not helping the ideological opposite. What you’re doing is removing the vote from one of the larger parties that are going to win regardless. The system is rigged against 3rd party and 3rd party will never win the presidency or any major office. At least while the Electoral College is a thing. We should stop with this mindset of “A vote for 3rd party is a vote for the opposition” because it’s just propaganda to remove what little power 3rd parties have.

      Maybe little parties would have more power if they demonstrated actual political power in local elections instead of trying to win pointless votes in the national election.

        It doesn’t matter. The US political system is deliberately weighed against 3rd party
