I question whether a "large majority" of people using adblockers are aware they are doing anything other than blocking ads. The HN crowd tends to overestimate the tech-savviness of the general population when it comes to this stuff.
- Tushon 9y agoOP said "large majority of people using adblockers", not that a large majority were already using them.
- davidcbc 9y agoSo did I? I'm not sure what your point is. My post was framed around the current users of adblockers.
- kakarot 9y agoI understand what you were saying, but I made the (unfounded) assumption that most of the general ad-blocker population were turned onto it by someone they trust who is more computer-savvy, and those people will generally continue to recommend ad-blockers to their less-savvy friends as long as good reasons still exist.
