I'm genuinely curious how anyone can spend any significant amount of time reading on the web and not use an ad-blocker. Even mostly-benign animated sidebar ads are too distracting for me.
My ad-blocker has been honed for the past 20 years I've been using the web. It's in my head. I just don't see banner-shaped animated objects anymore.
That said, I do block Flash for performance reasons, which also results in getting rid of the worst offenders. The day banners start using CSS animations or god forbid WebGL, I'll probably start blocking them outright.
I have very restricted list of sites which I think are good enough my attention and time.
p.s. and I spend 7 8 hour a day sitting and reading material and documents from net.
p.s-2. And I am okey with standard ads.Site owners has right to make living to, and I think using ads-blocker is selfish act.
Site owners have the right to make a living. They do not have a right to waste my bandwidth, damage my hearing, or compromise my security.

Perhaps, but it's a reaction to the considerably more selfish trend in advertising.
