I use an ad blocker because the web sites out there got too greedy and stuck too many ads on their sites.
I use AdBlock because it allows legitimate ads, and cuts down my browser traffic and CPU usage by over 60%.
Instead of sticking in ad blocker blockers, websites should focus on being less bloated. You can deliver the same content and adds for one-tenth of the resources if you hire competent developers.

@amerika I block all ads because I want them all to starve and die.

@judgedread @amerika I use uBlock Origin in my various devices. Was suprised the other day when a newspaper site opened in an unusual browser (not Waterfox Android, which has uBlock in) and it was so completely overwhelmed by ads.
Can people use a newspaper site with that amount of junk? I found it disgusting.
I did read a post about some new AI project to mask ad content so adblockers would be broken. 😔

The web is broken because Google needs to sell ads and people are not paying enough attention to their propaganda.
It's why they like Leftists... Leftists feel obligated to read stuff if it's "woke," and so you can con them into buying products easily.

@amerika @design_RG If leftist clicks were a good business model Tumblr wouldn't have lost 99.7% of its value in six years.
But this doesn't work with the cheap easy javascript ad loaded from offsite model that every existing ad network uses.
Mobile has been a boon for advertisers with all those locked down adblocker-free browsers.
