I hope so. I honestly have no problem with simple pics and text even ones that change regularly. It is the autoplay video and huge animated gifs that get well annoying, Seriously, want me not to buy a product, all you gotta do is make the ad autoplay video or audio and I will avoid said product. And all that bloat is a serious issue for mobile users on phones where data is not unlimited and not cheap. Add in the other mentioned reasons above and well yeah using an ad blocker is just safe and sane computing.
Heck as I stated earlier where I used to work flat out blocks a ton of ad providers at the corporate firewall level the traffic never gets to the workstations just a ‘site blocked’ in the ad space… If they have to do that then there are some serious problems with the online ad industry.
