gollark: You can just say "I'll search (for) that", no need to bring particular companies into this.
gollark: The other one I don't block ads on because they're just static image adverts in the sidebar of a blog, so I'm mostly okay with them and my adblocker doesn't get them automatically.
gollark: That's one of something like two things on which I don't block ads.
gollark: Ads also come hand-in-hand with the adtech industry's stupid amount of data gathering generally, which I *also* attempt to block.
gollark: I just adblock basically everything. It saves my time, screen space and bandwidth and stops my brain from processing stuff tailored explicitly to make me buy stuff I probably don't actually need or would otherwise want.
