I've always been a control freak. Long before ABP I used ipfw to block ads at home. I remember having to use Opera on my poor laptop because Firefox was becoming too bloated to run. And Opera at that time had ads in the INTERFACE of the browser. So blocking those at the router level left big blank spaces in the interfaces that were more satisfying to me than ads. So I'll give this guy credit because I used his plugin, but not too much credit when you sell out to the people you've basically made a business model out of blocking. Like many others I've switched to ublock and I'm a control freak so I also use noscript extensively. For many years now the browser has been the number one threat to the average internet user so I firmly believe in noscript. You should in fact take it even further and use qubes os.
