    I have said it before, and I’ll say it again.

    An adblocker is part on my security suite on my computer.

    Ads can be hijacked to spread malware, and unless the site owner agrees to take both financial and legal liability for the possible dammage caused by their website I will never consider removing my adblocker.

    If they agreed to take on the responsibility, I still wouldn’t remove my adblocker, but I would consider it.

      What’s your preferred adblocker?

          This is basically the definition of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

              I don’t understand how this serves the purpose of ad blocking.
