I know what adblock is and how works, I use, that doesn’t change the fact it is just ruining free internet, if everyone used adblockers google, youtube, gmail and all other apps would not be free (you think why youtube ads are getting longer and longer?) If you use something for free, you either abuse someone’s work, or you sell your data, no free things on this world.
I knew it will be downvoted, but you have to realize, nothing is free in this world kids, I don’t like it too, but it is what it is.
You want free and private internet - Ok You don’t want ads - Ok So who is going to give you something for free and why?
The problem is Signal supports up to 1000 people group chat, so it’s better to find something different
Oh well? I think you should educate yourself a little, it was never designed to be free, it was designed for army for long distance fast and reliable communication, later evolved to be a service, no service is free, providers aren’t gods to give you anything for free.
