I found Fair email to be more consistent than K9. I used both for 2 years or so before finally switching.

Except for Manjaro with their expired certs and DDoSing AUR. Or niche remixes that don’t patch stuff and don’t have a warning saying that our stuff is old, don’t use it if you care about that.

I was perfectly fine with having header/footer/banner ads and left my adblocker off, unfortunately almost all advertisements have become so obnoxiously placed and irritating. If they weren’t so greedy, I feel like most people would have been okay with it.

I’m okay with my physical newspaper running ads too but not putting super intrusive ones or the ones that are disguised as actual reporting.
