The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)

Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.

Nice Try, Google

Nice Try, Google

Google's eternal struggle against ad blockers has reached peak comedy. YouTube's "helpful" suggestion to disable your ad blocker is met with the perfect response from a hardened Firefox user: "No, I don't think I will." It's the digital equivalent of a restaurant suggesting you might enjoy your meal more if you paid double and watched a 30-second commercial between each bite. After years of battling popup ads and auto-playing videos, we've earned our right to browse in peace. Nice try though, YouTube... nice try.
