Alexander. Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When browsing the internet or watching your favourite Gamer on YouTube, do you use Adblocker? I have two browsers installed, Chrome and Microsoft. One has the add-on installed and the other is without, I alternate between internet browsers depending if I want to support a website or content creator, such as VGR Forums.

iaminsensible Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I do have an ad-block installed, but it is usually turned off. I will turn it on only when I am on youtube or a sketchy website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have a lifetime subscription of a software called Adguard which blocks all ads - even on mobile phones if you have Adguard installed on your phone. It was worth the $30 dollars that I paid last year for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I often try to avoid using adblocker because i want to support the developers. Unless there are seriously annoying pop up ads and the video ads. I prefer not to use the adblocker for that site. In fact I have turned it off for many sites. And I am happy to view those ads. I think on that note I'd say it's better to have it for developers who you like or play their games often as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanC Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I'm not a huge fan of ads, but I don't have any adblocker software. Some great sites use ads and I guess these places need to make money somehow. I can totally understand why people use adblocker software, though.

Then you will definitely hate those sites say news site that auto play the news. And they also add the ads into it. And they expect that adblocker should not be used. I have learned that it can be pretty effective to see that adblockers are going to be useful in many places. So I tend to force myself to use the adblocker on those type of the websites. Hopefully people can learn what annnoys readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
