"When I use a text-only browser then no "adblock" is necessary"

So you browser as if it were 1999? Yup, no ads back then.

The first ad blocker was released in 1996 [1] and in 1999 we had a lot of shiny, blinking and very colorful ads already [2]

1996 is a surprise, I thought WebWasher (http local proxy ad remover) was first.

Yes, but there is no song with the line: party like it's 1996. Simply doesn't work.
