I worked for Google for almost 10 years--nearly 7 on Chrome--and found the internet unusable without uBlock origin installed on my laptop. On my workstation I basically just didn't use the web unless it was obviously pertinent to the problem in front of me.

Nowadays, I use Safari with Ghostery lite and Adblock Plus. I won't go back to web without a blocker.

I worked for an AdTech company and _everyone_ had an adblocker installed on their laptops.
