I believe a huge percentage of non-technical users have no idea what an adblocker is.
I've installed them for a couple of friends and family who complained about ads and slow websites, but hadn't known about blockers.
- luckylion 6y agoThat's my experience as well. I had installed one on the PC I gave to my mother and one day she called me and told me that her friend's "internet is broken". Apparently they had tried to look something up together and my mother insisted that "that's not how the internet looks" because of all the ads, while her friend assured her that it's absolutely how it always looks. Needless to say, her friend's internet is no longer broken and everyone is happy. Whenever I turn off my adblockers and visit common sites, it feels like I've been wearing hearing protection in a loud place and I'm now taking them off.
