    You know something is wrong if your bank’s website needs adblocking. No wonder the internet has gone to shit… Is it that bad in other countries? ( i live in a country where bank sites dont have ads )

      I live in the US. If I turn on uBlock for banking websites, they often don’t work.

      It’s usually some analytics script, which as recent events with tax preparers have shown ought to be blocked as a security risk.
