So, I installed an ad blocker the other day to block ads on youtube. It was a pleasant surprise to how well it worked, skipping ads and going directly to the viewable content. While good for the users like us, it seems counter to advertisers and websites and it is frankly surprising that the developers of browsers allow it. For instance, why would Google allow Chrome users to block ads, would that not be against their financial interests?
And while we are on the topic of ad blockers, if you use them suggest whitelisting sites you want to support.
Which adblockers do folks here recommend as most effective? Do folks here use them for different types of devices? As in smartphones, tablets/iPads, Windows PC's, Macs?
