More and more people are downloading and are using an Adblocker extension, or add-on with their browsers. Sites now use some preventive measures to get their websites visitors and/or traffic to turn off the adblocker by blocking their content, or by using annoying popups to ask you to turn off the adblocker while visiting the site. Do you support the website by disabling your adblocker for websites that ask you to turn the adblocker off, or do you keep the Adblocker enabled? Have you ever experienced this type of behavior when viewing your favorite websites? Do you use an adblocker? If you don't use an adblocker, what is your reason?

I understand that websites make a good amount of revenue from their ads and I will support the ones I like and also trust. But if for some reason I land on IwillTakeYourInfoAndYourIdentity.com and they ask me to remove my ad block.... I'm not going to
It's understandable when some websites ask you to remove it because they use third party advertising platforms and on some of these there are people paying a lot of money to get a small banner on all the pages. By having ad blocker activated you will not see any of these ads and the advertiser will see the amount of impressions shown within their dashboard. If half of the traffic going to the site has adblocker active then the impressions may only show 50% of what the admin was saying the advertiser would get. It would make the admin look like he's inflating his numbers in order to get a sale. And I know from experience that it is extremely difficult to get your money back from a bad ad because each month a websites impressions can sky rocket or drop into a pit and come up the next month. So getting your money back for a bad month isn't likely If a reputable website asks me to add them to my authorized websites within my adblocker I may do it. Normally if I get asked to lift the limitation from a website that I've never heard of I just laugh and close the tab :D I understand that websites make a good amount of revenue from their ads and I will support the ones I like and also trust.
