I prefer using adblockers not because I dislike ads, but because they help me protect against potential abuse. You see, most of the malicious and abusive experiences I come across on the Internet are actually through ads.
They often try to steal my bandwidth, take up valuable screen space, or even take control of my browser. Some ads have even tried to install software without my consent, which is downright alarming. Honestly, browsing the Internet can sometimes feel like a battle against the ad industry's hostility. So until the ad industry starts behaving better, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, I'll continue relying on adblockers to ensure a safer browsing experience.
