Because of the default setting that shows ads in a program called "ad block."

good thing they didnt name it "completely ad block"

I prefer "Sorta Ad-Block, Kinda".

Ad Block Plus (ads)

Your definition of "dark side" seems borderline sociopathic.

Both the Interactive Advertising Bureau and Ghostery accused ABP of extortion due to their business practices.

A program that labels itself as an "ad blocker" yet allows, by default, ads from companies who pay money, is part of the dark side.
