And it’s always the same, AI-slop looking ad. I don’t even know if I have sleep apnea, I just snore really loud sometimes cuz of my sinus issues.

TBH I still cannot believe there are people using the internet without ad block in 2026
Seriously, it’s not just annoying, it’s a big privacy issue.
Fun fact: it is trivially easy and costs $0 to track an individual through their ad identifier. They’re not supposed to uniquely identify people, but you really just have to drill down like a dozen or so variables and you’ll uniquely identify just about anyone with a smart phone.
Hey, random person for whom this describes, are you
-Aged 30-34 -White -Male -Educated -Spends a lot of time near you work address -Spends a lot of time near you home address -Spends some time where you vacation the exact time you usually vacation there -Is a 49ers fan -Likes artisanal coffee -Android user -Listens to late 90s and early 00s metal -Wears pants size 38/32.
Guess what there’s like 3 of you in the world. And we can get all 3 ad ids in the real time bidding market and track all 3 of you until we deduce which one is you.
Now I know where any person for whom I perform these steps is located, basically in real time.
It’s that bad. It’s a well known issue with I guess too much money behind it to fix? Idk.
I put it back on and it’s working, thanks for reminding me
Dont worry, I will always be the snarky asshole who talks down to people for not being like me any chance I get
Fair, I used it for the site but it kept not playing the audio
I think most people on the internet don’t even know what a browser extension is. Most people are not very interested in customizing or tweaking their computer beyond “push this button, stuff I want comes out.”
