minus-squareMaggiWuerzelinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agohow would your adblocker affect something going on in googles backend?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoIt affects what is displayed to me in the browser window. No backend needed. It sees “sponsored” and hides them.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoFair enough. But i will say that with the adblocker i can find what i need a lot easier and is usually a top 3 result if not the first.
minus-squareMaggiWuerzelinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoDefinitely. Not having half of the first page being ads helps a lot
