I haven't surfed the web without an adblocker for at least 15 years. The other day I entered a site on my phone trying to figure out something while I was in Italy, and it is impossible to do anything. Everything is ads, everywhere. It is not surprising people use adblockers.

Mission accomplished! We've hit £1000 in just 12 days. Of course people can always donate more/there is no upper-limit. What next? Well, my sobriety has over 8 months to go, so that's my task. Maybe I can do some other challenge to build on this amount... @braintumourcharity.bsky.social
