The ad block is a good idea as standard equipment. True, would save everyone from having to add as standard procedure.

- TorstenDittmannMay 26, 2019Copper ContributorI don't think adding adblock as a default is a good option.
1. Microsoft is making money with ads.
2. Ads are necessary for many online services to survive.
3. I don't like the idea, that everything on the internet has to be for free. I do like to have the option of disabling ads, but only for money. Many sites offer great service for free and only run ads.
So most adblock users have a weird attitude IMO when using free services like YouTube and blocking ads.
I hate stuff like flashy ads, pop-ups or scam that's disguised as "related news". But I rather endure such ads or stop visiting certain websites anymore, than increasing the need of paywalls.
So please, don't add a built-in adblock :-)
