    I’m pretty sure those ads also have to meet certain criteria though.

    Using ABP, I’ve never had a popup ad, full page ad, auto-playing video, or other intrusive form of advertisement. The “acceptable ads” have been quiet and out of the way in what would otherwise be empty space.

    With the understanding that some websites and content creators are entirely reliant on ad revenue, I prefer to have those filtered down to those that don’t provide a burdensome experience.

    I will say that having a new tab open with a solicitation for a donation / “premium” every single update (so almost daily) is irritating and they better knock that shit off if they don’t want to alienate users.


  • I barely used it to begin with. Mostly had it for first party exclusives and portability, but once emulation got to the point where it delivered a superior experience the Switch became a dust collector.

    The fact that I barely used the Switch made me hold off on getting a SteamDeck for a long time. Now that I have one, my high end gaming PC is the thing collecting dust and the Switch feels like a cheap toy.
