They dont solve 'everything', but they solve quite a lot.
We can tell how effective they are, by how much many ad funded website complain about them.

- manigandham 9y agoThey don't solve much at all, other than blocking annoyances and improving the browsing experience. The ads blocked by most adblockers is a tiny part of the advertising you are exposed to. It's also a great signal that shows that you are an "adblock user". Everything bit of data is used and you are not special or hard to reach.
