I think it just comes down to habit and wanting to keep things simple. The adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” exists for a reason, after all. I never even bothered going as far as to trying block the ads. They suddenly appeared for me one day but would never render, the panels just kept flashing at me. It might have been while looking up a fix - I can’t remember - but it was around that time that I also heard about the undisclosed mining issue so I quickly jumped ship. Been happily using qbittorrent ever since and now wouldn’t really be able to swap again thanks to finding a proper dark mode theme for it. So few others seem to have it and I have no idea what I’m doing with theme creation.
