Personally, I hate ads in general, but I can't help noticing the double standard with folks who use Adblock. Most of the same folks watch TV, listen to the radio, buy newspapers/magazines, or walk/drive in public. Ads are even more pervasive in all these avenues. Where is the outcry on user choice there? In many of those cases, you're paying to use those services (unlike FB for example), and yet you still see/hear ads. Why the Internet and not there too?

I think one major difference on the Internet is ad tracking. I firmly believe you should have the right to not be tracked. I think the blocking apps should focus on preventing you from being tracked, not from the ad displaying. If the site uses intrusive ads that consume the page, do as I do and not go back! There's almost always another source for that information!
