Could someone post some meaningful numbers of the percentage of users that browse the web with extensions like AdBlock and/or NoScript?
I know a lot of people that run AdBlock, but outside the hardcore techie crowd I know very few who run NoScript.
Anecdotal observation doesn't mean much, so numbers would be appreciated.
Also, NoScript requires a lot (relatively speaking, of course) of interactively applied knowledge about web technologies. I'm fairly certain the people who use it make up a very small segment of Google's target audience.

- bumblebird 17y agoLast time I measured, on a largely firefox userbase, adBlock was used by about 6%. Not enough really to bother about. I'd expect the number who use NoScript to be 1-2% if that. Note this is out of a mainly firefox userbase. For the general web those %'s would be far lower.
