This is the internet not television. I'm not obliged to see their ads. I don't think anyone is really saying that. But I agree with criticsquid in that if I think a site has content worth viewing, I want to do what I can to support that site, whether it means subscriptions or viewing ads. So I don't run an ad-blocker. If I run into a site with ads that annoy me, I just don't visit that site. A site decides whether or not to run annoying ads, even if they don't get to pick the ads specifically, so I show my frustration by not giving such sites my traffic at all.

There are sites that I visit regularly and many more sites that I arrive at only through search results. It's the second set of sites that keeps the adblocker turned on. There is an option in Adblocker Plus, I think, to allow non-annoying ads. If it comes to the Safari version I will try it. OTOH, every time I open a new tab, the Expose version of 12 most visited sites are retrieved with ads, so maybe I'm contributing enough.
