My friend ask why ads still appear when they use an adblocker.

My friend is starting to curious about how to block ads since ads is getting so annoying.

I know it isn't their things to ask, but it's starting to become their needs due how invasive ads are.

My friend ask why do ads still appear when they have use an adblocker, a rookie misunderstanding just like me backthen when I learn how adblocking works.

Me: remember when you get spam call?

My friend: yes.

Me: that's how ads work, so then you started to put the spammers number into the block list so the spammers couldn't call you anymore.

My friend: so I have to block ads manually?

Me: basically yes, but there are Communities that already doing that, so you can use their filter. Those filters already in your adblocker. Have you notice something as "Easylist"?

My friend: Oh I see.

My friend: But why do the ads still visible?

Me: ads is just like 'spammers', it happens all over the world, each of them has their 'unique' code based on their region.

That's why you still get some ads, because you haven't add filter which came from our region, or maybe the ads haven't been included yet in the filter.

So far, that's my best explanation to my friend. I think he get my point.

After that conversation, my friend hasn't gotten any ads, atleast until today.
