This is not good!

I thought Apple were way out in front when it came to tracking and whatnot...

My wife uses a MAC at home and was complaining about how slow our internet was (70Mb down... not slow) a while back.

She mainly looks at news sites and when I saw what she was looking at I knew the problem wasn't the internet connection.

The entire page, apart from a tiny bit in the middle, was cluttered with moving shit!

I installed uBlock Origin and... the result was fantastic: pages loaded in a fraction of the time.

When she realised that the articles were a tiny proportion of the downloaded crap she realised she'd been missing out for so long.

Once, when the MAC went back for repair, it was replaced with a new one and OMG the horror when she fired up Safari and it had no blocker... UBlock Origin to the rescue.

I agree with one of the other comments on here: The web is utterly unusable without it.
