- The internet of today is so bloated with ads tracking and scripts that it’s equivalent of a porn site a decade ago. Every mainstream site has so much crap that’s you need multiple layers of blocking to get a decent experience.
The worse is how many banking and hospital sites use trackers, and not even just analytics, but trackers connected to Facebook, Linkdin, Twitter, etc. If you ever have a half hour with nothing to do, pull up some of your local bank and hospital websites and see what your ad blocker is filtering out. It's genuinely crazy to see.
