some might argue that it will make it even harder to make websites profitable/break even.

although i haven't clicked on an ad for a while, and i make a point of not clicking any stupid obtrusive ads/noisy ads

Well I'm sure the advertising companies aren't targeting those that use the ad blocking programs anyway, so I am for ad blockers.

Why look at the ads when you're not gonna click them to begin with?

I'm sure they'll just make page embedded ads more, and we'll have to find a way around those as well.

thats what i mean, programs that modify the html to stop embedded ads
