They only break ads if ads are big JS things that have privacy implications - most ads are, but they don't have to be. I run a website that has one sponsor and their ads aren't blocked by privacy tools - because it's just some static HTML text, link and an image on the page. So I'm not sure what "local ads" you are referring to. (In much the same way, I don't see a whole bunch of ads because I use a Flashblocker ... but ads don't have to be flash) > From a website owner's perspective privacy plugins are ad-blockers. If that's how a website owner thinks, then I'd say they have a very narrow idea of what an ad can be.
