Why the fuck do people not use an adblocker
My friend complained about way too many ads on youtube and the new 90 seconds of unskippable ads and when i told him to install an adblocker he said it’s too hard. Like what the fuck is so hard about it you go to a extension strore click uBlock (origin if on firefox) and enable it. Why is it so hard?

Performance/Page loading inconsistencies between ad blockers/Android MS Edge
MS Edge on Android still supports MV2 extensions apparently.
I've been trying to find an Adblock extension for Edge on Android that doesn't tank performance and still works like it should.
I've noticed uBlock Origin, seems to delay page loading significantly. I understand it wasn't "meant" to be a mobile browser extension, but it also seems to have the best formatting of pages after the ads are removed, at the expense of page loading time.
My other concern is >how long< will Microsoft allow MV2 extensions in Edge. Do I want to waste my time with an extension that will get tanked in a week, a month, 4, or whenever?
I've tried uBlock Origin Lite, and it just doesn't seem to quite block everything it should. It does do a good job and I have it set on complete but it misses a few small things, even with all the filters enabled. The upside is it doesn't look like it does as much to hurt performance as uBO does.
I had been using Adguard extension. I can't tell if Edge is allowing the MV2 version or the MV3 version. I had recently used Chrome and it popped up with a warning saying I had to refresh my filters to make the numbers be under 300k or whatever it was. In Edge I have like 627k filter rules enabled. It seems like performance isn't horrible, but when I have Adguard enabled if the page has a text box it immediately pops up my keyboard and moves focus to the text box, for example using the Speedometer 3.1 test. The other blockers do not do this. It's more of an annoyance than anything else.
I'm just sharing my observations and if anyone has any suggestions to improve performance or blocking capabilities of the extensions let me know!
