My thoughts are simpler on the matter.

I don't use adblock.

I use Noscript.

If I am interested in actually making use of a site, I allow the site itself, as well as any cdn variant of it. Most of the google-related sites are already white-listed as well, so they should be perfectly capable of using any google-based ad system. If the site has additional functionality, and I have reason for wanting to have the site work properly (i.e. perhaps the site has a video on it), I also will enable the bare minimum number of sources necessary to get it to work.

If I do not see ads, they have only themselves to blame for not advertising in a manner that still lets them do so under those constraints. And it is their fault for just having java-heavy ads. There is no reason you can't get by with a nice, java-free image-link ad like sites from 10+ years ago used (there are still sites that use these). Even GameFAQs has text-based ads, so at least those get through.


My problem isn't ads. Its ads that are annoying. Pretty much any ad that gets by my use of noscript, as it happens, is NOT annoying.
