Re: Some things to consider

said by fAcEtIOUs:

Whats the difference? I never clicked on ads before I used Adblock. And when I use IE or Chrome while testing those browsers out I never click on ads then either. So, unless I am wrong about how web sites get paid for ads(I have to click on one for you to get money), you weren't getting any money from me anyway. All I have done is remove the annoyance from my monitor.
Agreed. Unless the ads are embedded into the site itself, I don't care about ads either. I don't click on them (never actually), I mean if I want to buy something, then I go search for it. The "impulse" buying, I'll leave that to others.

Adblock and the like are a choice, not a feature that can't be turned off. If all browsers came with Adblock on by default, then yes I can see a more valid argument about advertising revenue. But those that use this type of extension for their browser never intended to click the ads in the first place so it's no different than ignoring them.
