I have said it before, and I'll say it again.
As an IT guy I consider an adblocker an essential part of my computer security suite.
I will not reconsider until there are laws in place forcing website owners to take legal and financial responsibility for any damage sustained to my computer when visiting their site, and loading their ads.
IF the laws are changed like that, I would reconsider getting rid of my adblocker, ai still wouldn't but I would reconsider the issue.
Scariest ads are the ones if you accidentally click redirects and opens up another site on your browser.
