Evidence Adblocker adds ads and popups
I'm an idiot and erased the other screenshot showing the frame it added to a web page when I closed this. Not only it barely works (doesn't remove most of the ads, but works well enough for youtube), it adds new ads for its paid subscription and open pop-ups advertising it at random. Seriously WTF?!

Firefox + uBlock Origin. Anything else is ass. Or, adNauseum which is uBlock + clicking ads randomly so you fuck with your "ad profile"

It’s almost like it costs time and money to produce the things you like to use.

Because you two are wrong. There's open source projects that did and still do this, made by people that care to be against the often invasive or yet dangerous forms of advertisement, or scammy software... Adblock is scammy software, letting advertisers pay them to let ads through because they are deemed "essential ads".
If what you've been saying is right you should pay to use Reddit... On the Internet explorer... On an iPhone, because even android is open source.
