I have a buddy who started an ad ops company about a decade ago and I remember asking him if he was worried about ad blockers. He said nobody used them and it wasn't a concern. He sold the company about five years ago. I wonder if it's an issue for them now.
I stopped using ad blockers and just don't visit sites that have intrusive ads. The number of ads that a single page has now is ridiculous. I can't believe people make their pages look this way. Try disabling your ad blocker on some of your favorite sites, you'll be surprised.
Adblocker is like a hazmat suit for today's internet.
