Basically me every time I open a website on my work laptop, where I cannot add browser extensions because of IT policies.
I honestly cannot fathom why large companies don’t include at least simple adblockers in their browser configurations. I don’t even need to block youtube ads, the banners on stackoverflow are bass enough). Would probably save fairly significant amounts of bandwidth, too.
I’m to the point that if whatever I’m watching/doing pops an ad at me, I reflexively make a snap judgement on whether I want to continue watching/doing whatever it is. Often the answer is ‘no’ and I’ll just bail entirely.
I use an add blocker to such an extent im horrified every time I’m on an unfamiliar device and have to deal with copious adds.

I can’t even imagine raw-dogging the internet like that…
