When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they’re surfing on their browsers. I’ve just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We’ve heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they’re surfing without extensions. Whether it’d be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I’ve long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would’ve long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

    They were likely referring to Trump. Trump is probably the opposite of anti-genocide progressives

      The delusions in this space are astounding. Trump is actually responsible for the ongoing genocide??

      a person responsible for genocide, who spent their career imprisoning mostly black men, and who promises to spend hundreds of millions funding a border wall

        In the the US laws are passed by the legislative branch, in particular laws around spending are passed by the House of Represtatives. Currently the House or Representatives is controlled by the Republican party, the party of which Donald Trump is the undisputed leader. As such Trump has sufficient control over the Republican party to broadly control the parties legislative priorities, including spending. In fact he has already used this authority to enact his legislative priorities around spending and immigration reform among other things.

        Donald Trump has directed the Republican party to support the genocide in Gaza, so the Republican party provides the funding necessary to for the IDF to conduct the genocide in Gaza.

        Additionally when Donald Trump was president he did several things to empower Israel including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and required all Palestinian affairs to go through this embassy.

        While the Democratic party has played a part in supporting the genocide, Donald Trump and the Republican party absolutely have the power to stop the US from passing funding bills to arm the IDF and help stop the genocide. Instead he and the Republican party he leads enthusiastically support what Israel has been doing in Gaza and now are trying to do in Lebanon. There’s every reason he’ll take the US’s support for the genocide even further.

          Donald Trump somehow controls Biden-Harris’s foreign policy??

          "There has been no division of labor or dispute on policy. Vice President Harris shares President Biden’s support for an ironclad US commitment to Israel’s security coupled with a commitment to advancing a two-state solution in order to bring an end to this cycle of violence.” - A US official (Source: “Not the bad cop: Biden officials say Harris won’t shift course on supporting Israel”)

          “Biden restricted and conditioned U.S. arms transfers to Ukraine but worried that doing the same to Israel might tempt Hezbollah to attack it. So Biden kept the arms flowing (with the exception of at least one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs) and never imposed serious restrictions on their use.”

          ““The United States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions.”

            IIRC, Donald Trump said he’d have ended the genocide sooner…by giving more support to Israel to “finish the job” of eliminating Palestine/Palestinians more quickly. So if that’s the alternative you support, then by all means, don’t vote for Harris.

              Who do you believe is buying a fear mongering hypothetical over the actual reality of genocide happening thanks to Biden and Harris?

                So are you Russian or Israeli?

                This is something that both the Republican and Democratic leaders agree on. The only difference is the scope. Kind of like how both parties were chasing down Bin Laden.

                  Why are you desperate to change topics to make this personal?

                  Bin Laden

                  You think public support for his assassination is equal to public support for the Israeli genocide of Palestinians?
