I assume parent is linking at googling being absolutely ass nowadays with sponsored links leading to malware. Then again that's not an adblock issue but an ad issue.

I wasn't talking about your personal case where a tiny browser is relevant, but a huge search engine isn't (this is the same mistake that led you to believe it's trivially easy), but about the "non-elitist" general public

It's just as easy in Chrome.

And over 30% of the population use an ad blocker. So clearly not as hard as all that.
