I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Browsing the internet without content filters(adblock) is like going through a dungeon naked without armor. Too many risks which are not worth it.

I use Adguard and ublock origin. There's too much tracking, ads, crapware and even malware if you choose to not install one.

Even the FBI recommends to install an adblocker. https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/fbi-recommends-ad-blocker-online-scams-b1048998.html
