The most valuable advertising keywords could be "ublock origin"

I only ever see online advertising when I've installed a new browser and I'm searching for uBlock Origin.

And I have to scroll to find the actual genuine link.

You search for it? Why?
I remember it basically always being the top entry as soon as I open the browsers addon menu.
- Which browser do you use? There's no entries in the extensions menu in mine until you install some.
  
  The first thing I do is navigate to addons.mozilla.org. It's usually listed somewhere on the homepage.
  
  Firefox and Librewolf.

  Librewolf already has it preinstalled from the start, so even one step less.

  "Top Four Best Ad Blockers" (which recommends homophobia and crypto-shit browser Brave)
  "Up to 50% off the best leading ad blockers" (who the fuck pays for an adblocker), and
  a shady Chinese browser wearing the skin of an old power user browser
  But yours may vary.
  
  “Top Four Best Ad Blockers” (which recommends homophobia
  Okay wtf do elaborate
Bookmark it. Or download a copy to have on hand locally.
- Memorising the URL would probably be easiest but I'm lazy
