Well an "ad blocker" is almost always just a list that some guy or repo online decides to block.
So if someone decides AMP pages should be blocked, your ad blocker will start blocking them.
It's actually one of the reasons I stopped using them. The idea of some person somewhere deciding what I see and don't see didn't quite jive with me. And it was impacting me by blocking things like Google shopping which I was trying to use.
- aninhumer 10y agoThat's not a reason not to use an ad-blocker, it's a reason not to use a public blocklist. If you want more control, just make your own filter rules.
- Klathmon 10y agoIt was one of the reasons. I also never really liked the idea of blocking ads, depriving content creators of money, and I don't want to always pay for everything with money. That, combined with the lack of easy control, opinionated ad blocking utilities (stop blocking webRTC dammit. I know you think it's a problem, I don't), general breakage across the web, performance issues with most blockers, and more made me stop using them.
