Thanks for the data. As another uBlock user (who does not care about the split by the way) and as someone who is not a tech-bubble elite, I can tell you with much confidence, that there is no such thing as "ordinary users" when it comes to Adblocking.

I don't know man, plenty of people are fed up with ads (installing adblock isn't really technically challenging) and now there are plenty more non-tech people using adblock because of Apple.

I install AdBlock plus on all my family member's machines. That, and I also install NoScript. They're ordinary users, and they use adblocking without even knowing it.

  Noscript? It is a bold move to break more than half of the internet for them. Did they learn to use the Noscript-menu when something does not work?

    Yes, I taught them what to do if the website doesn't work. They're surprisingly adept now at only accepting domains that look trustworthy, selectively. My parents being 60+ years old, I'm also amazed at it...
