What an asshat. I've been using AdBlock for so long the internet looks foreign to me when I'm on a computer without it.
Advertisers weren't content to serve up static ads, they had to track us everywhere we went. Turns out consumers don't like being tracked, numbered, barcoded, boxed, packaged, and targeted. Who knew? The ad industry is reaping what it sowed.
