That's been true for 20+ years.
I used "web washer" back then and one day had to use someone else's browser for something. I had no idea how bad it was even then. All these pop ups and other things flashing at me. My content buried deep under crap. I freaked out and never ran a browser without a blocker again.
If I can't use a site without a blocker, I just don't. I find the content elsewhere or do without. Sometimes the reader mode in safari works via anti-ad-block sites.
Fuck those guys who do anti-ad-blocking.
have you ever tried Daily Mail w/o a blocker? Amazing the amount of junk that zooms at you. Appalling.

There is no cloud. There is only somebody else's computer. When you put your data on somebody else's computer, it is no longer your data it is their data. How much clearer can this be?
There was a time when I might have felt sorry for people who lost half a year's work "because cloud fart", but that time has passed. They deserve what they get. I'll reserve my limited supply of sympathy for people who deserve it.
I have everything on a Time Machine Seagate. Also on iCloud. Also on Drive + GPhotos. Redundancy has its advantages.
