So basically sites that provide you information and content for FREE you basically **** them over? Yes ads can be annoying but fact is without a revenue stream the only other option for site to generate revenue is to charge subscriptions. I'd rather not have to pay for every site I want to visit.

Sorry but if I have a site and i'm letting you visit my site for FREE and ad are the way I generate revenue you don't really have a right to block anything. I mean legally you can, but the "I wish to not be an asshole" law you can't.
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.
Considering you almost ALWAYS agree with me on copyright and how wrong it is to download stuff I am shocked at your attidude at this. What's the differnce between you blocking ads and someone using the excuse that they never had the intention of paying for the content anyways so it's ok to download it. Please explain the differnce.

Re: Some things to consider

Believe it or not there are still some pay per impression ads. OTOH the point of bahavioral advertising is to get something in front of you that is interesting to you so you'll click through. Honestly, as a content producer and a user I see both sides of the coin. I HATE ads that disrupt the layout of the page etc., but I also know that ads pay the bills. I also don't mind ads if they're interesting and are for stuff I care about. On one of the sites I run, Google does a very good job at this...cell phone ads on a cell phone related site. bingo. Facebook does a rather horrid job of matching ads to what I am generally looking for, and thus I'd rather ignore them.

Ignoring ads on ebsites comes from those ads being an annoyance, right? What if they actually made sense and helped you find information instead of being blaring marketing crap? Seems like that's what Google is trying to do.
