They're obtrusive. Also, potential malware.

I use it on a few sites like GameFAQs because most of the times, I'll get malware if I don't from the ads.

I could not imagine youtube with ads.

Without ads it may be the greatest media source in history, no exaggeration.

I dont consent to websites using my bandwidth, my screen real estate, to advertise to me. Especially since ads are a security risk.
Until websites start paying me 50c per ad displayed to me i will never disable my adblocker

I used to not use one for the longest time, then after nearly a year almost of them trying to push these 'free games' ads on me and them becoming more intrusive such as trying to redirect or do stuff I had enough. Nothing like an ad trying to force a browser hijacker to seal the deal.

Been using one for quite some years now, I think it was around 2010-2012 I got fed up with it. I have it set to allow some non-disruptive ones so that they at least get something, but all the bothersome ones can bugger off.

Funny thing is I didn't mind occasional ads as they've pointed me to legit things I enjoyed/wanted. They got so aggressive they made me block em.

A few months back when the extensions for firefox broke was an awful day, because I saw how many ads I was missing out on. It's awful.

Dont use it on my computer because I barely watch YouTube on there. Use it on my phone because of YouTube ads.
