If you're on the Internet and you're seeing ads, you're doing something wrong. Use a decent browser that supports Ublock Origin or use a PiHole instead.

Advertisement networks are a legitimate security threat because they don't vet their shit or even properly secure their own damn infrastructure consistently.

Both is very good. And PiHole will actually speed up slow internet as depicted in the meme, because the ads never even download in first place. Those that do get downloaded get squashed by your standard Ublock Origin.

Yep, PiHole can also block a lot of ads on mobile apps that uBlock can't be used for.
