As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.
The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from “buying votes” by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.

You should give Vivaldi a try for a customizable browser. It has tons of functional customization, perhaps less cosmetic stuff than GX though.
As far as search engines go, I got nothing. I am fairly agnostic about them. If one isn’t giving me the desired results, I just try others.
Catcher In The Rye
What a miserable experience reading the whiney thoughts of that little shithead.
Maybe it would have been more relatable if I read it at 15, but I read it at like 28 and it was insufferable.
A close second is The Great Gatsby. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and then just like that it was over.
I don’t mind simple static ads on websites as a way to keep them free to use. The reason I use an ad blocker is because websites use ads that flash, play video/audio, and dynamically resize causing the text you are trying to read to jump around and change, making the site unusable. Even with an adblocker, sometimes the only way to use those sites is with reader mode. I disable the adblocker on sites that display reasonable, mostly static advertising. People putting in the work to make the content deserve to eat.

I can’t be the only person who instinctively trusts a product/brand less the more I see ads for it.
The biggest example is alcohol brands. It’s almost guaranteed that the more advertising a brand does, the more middle-low quality is. (There will always be the ultra-cheap option with no marketing of course.)
It’s mind boggling to me that in this modern interconnected era that this isn’t obvious to everybody.
