@arstechnica Another reason to keep Google blocked on my home network!

@arstechnica Another example why ad blockers are a security control, not piracy or what ever.

@arstechnica And if we use ad blockers web sites complain or stop working

I have no objection to ads that are hosted by the site I'm visiting & the owner of that site assumes full responsibility for ensuring those ads are safe & assumes full liability for any & all damage if they aren't

Up to, and including, but not limited to buying me a new home of my choice + removal costs, changing my name, reimbursing me for any costs, monies lost & 10% of the entire package on top for damages
