I've been a long time ad block user, to the point I almost forgot about ads being on sites. A few months ago I noticed several sites wouldn't play videos with ad block plus enabled so I ended up not reinstalling it as I'd seen several reports they were getting paid by certain groups to display ads.
I browsed the internet about 2 months with no ad blocker and finally just 2 days ago I had enough and found a replacement to ad block plus.
The simple fact is ads around the net are way to intrusive with flash overlays causing pages to load slow. There were even countless times even here on GFY that ads would drastically slow down the loading of the page. Not to mention sites that steal the back button..
Also they are extremely intrusive with how companies like google/amazon track you. You search for something and next thing you know every site you visit has a ad for that product. Mainstream sites are way worse than porn which is pretty amazing TBH.. When I first started using ad blockers it was because I ran TGP's and sometimes you would get a asshole re-directer sending you to pop-up hell.
The times have changed that now mainstream is the pop up hell, but really it's worse because they track you all over the net.
