Yeah It sounds like a silly question, but some people will not bother visiting websites with too much "AD-TIVITY" cause of it. If people don't know what I mean, Ad blocker is a web browser extension to block advertising and popups as you browse the internet. So if that didn't exist and there was no option to pay to remove them, would you still use it?

Yes.
And I would be the first to create an adblocker and gain lots of money :)

All things considered? I didn't start using an adblocker until 2011. I got by fine, just had to know what links to click and make sure the proper preemptive measures were in place. So, yes. I would.

Only a fool would refuse to use a large and great service because of a minor annoyance.
Adblocker exists and I use it, but if it didn't exist I would still use the internet, I just wouldn't enjoy it as much.

This question is basically:
"If you couldn't get very clean oxygen, would you stop breathing?"

I would probably use it a little less though honestly.

In its current state, and especially on mobile, where the ads are even more malicious than they've ever been on PC; no I would try to avoid going to any websites, and just use like the internet-enabled apps like YouTube, Netflix, etc.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go
