Maybe it's just me
I used to use an Ad blocker but now I dont.
For the first couple of days the adds annoyed me -now I really don't noti them.
Someone argued that they use bandwidth but that surely only relates to mobile devices and 1Gb/month is more than enough on my iPad and iPhone as I am on wifi most of the time.
If you have severely restricted bandwidth it might be worth blocking adds but otherwise they really are not that bad - most of the time.
I used to spend a lot of time tinkering to get things working but now can't be bothered.
I realise there are a lot of techies here that enjoy spending 90% of their waking hours trying to save themselves 5 minutes but I'm to old for that now.
I'd rather things just work, and the vast majority of the time they just do.
Finding out that Ad Block is basically just blackmail makes me realise how glad I am that I don't wor about it any more.
YMMV
