    Then you load up your site, go “oh, those ads make my site look like garbage”, and turn the plugin off. Ads don’t magically appear, someone has to actively decide that they want them and that they are happy with the trade off for user experience

      While that’s true, there’s also the “Works on my machine” effect.

      It might’ve been less obstructive on their pc than on op’s

      Browser gets a vote when it comes to HTML. Loading the site on your browser might not look the same as it does on someone else’s.

      Hell… The author could have an adblock plugin themselves… :)
