Amen to that. Not only do they slow down page loads by several orders of magnitude, they also frequently slow down the website after page loads. The shenanigans some of them try is really infuriating and blatantly disrespectful to the end user. Embedded cryptocoin mining, firing off HTTP requests rapidly and endlessly, changing the page's scrolling behavior, loading right in the middle of the page's main content, etc.
Any change to a web browser that interferes with or defeats online advertising is one that I welcome. Until online advertising becomes unobtrusive and malware-free again, I, along with millions of others, will keep the adblocker enabled.
