Yes I use an ad blocker. With some sites I visit, not having an ad blocker could mean the difference between my computer being destroyed by malware or saving myself by not clicking on malicious ads/full screen non-visible ads.

Also, if the content is coming from someone or some entity I am fairly certain doesn’t need my monetary support, why should I bother seeing ads? That’s just them leaching off me like a parasite. If I want to support a(n) person(s) and/or entity, I’d rather go as direct in helping find them as I can (such as through pateron or some other way).
