Sorry if this pic is a bit blurry. I took a photo of my colleges computer screen from my phone.

    Several times now, I’ve sent people I knew links to articles that looked perfectly fine to me, but turned out to be unusable ad-ridden garbage to them.

    Since then, I try to remember to disable uBlock Origin to check what they’ll actually see before I share any links.

      You know, I never thought about that until now. Not that I send that many links out, but still another thing to think about.

      This happens to me when I switch to the work VPN. Any websites I had open start flooding with ads.

      I use DNS to block ads but unfortunately I need the DNS from the VPN to access stuff.
