Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn't use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

A lot of people. For many, it's not even something they know exist. Even setting it up for them is a bother because of the occasional site it breaks, and the complete lack of technical awareness.

There's also many of us who don't use a laptop/PC to access the Internet.

There's Android browsers with AdBlock. Mozilla is one of them...

I almost exclusively use my iPhone - I have ad blockers on it. AdGuard, Banish, and Vinegar.

Firefox on Android and its many derivatives (I use Fennec) have uBlock Origin as a browser extension.
