You're still the exception. I don't use an ad blocker, of my two immediate IT staff coworkers, only one does use one.
However, I do do things that mean I see fewer ads, especially obnoxious ones. I spend a lot of my time in RSS feeds, not often venturing to the actual sites. When I do go to those sites, if ads are burdensome, I use Safari's Reader View and I have enabled the "always use" option for a few sites (e.g. The Verge). I'm also on sites like this and Reddit, which is quite ad-lite. I subscribe to one political news site which gives me A) full-text in RSS and B) reduced ads on the site (I occasionally go to the site because the RSS doesn't have images or embedded content).
- packet_nerd 9y ago> You're still the exception Depends in the measure, I guess. Recent versions of Chrome have started blocking certain obtrusive ads by default. That's getting pretty mainstream.
- gcb0 9y agoGoogle is the source of most of those ads. think about it.
