- matheusmoreira 6y agoAbsolutely. I don't feel any guilt either. The web is straight up unusable without these extensions.
- simonblack 6y agoIf ads were sent to you at NO COST TO YOU, most of us probably wouldn't gaf at all. But when every ad you receive has a cost in terms of your data allowance and a cost in time, it's just not acceptable. I have had, at various times, a very restrictive monthly downloads quota. At one time, for nearly a year, my average maximum daily allowance was a mere 60 megabytes. It takes no time at all for advertisement images at around 1-2 megabytes each to slurp up all of your daily allowance.
