How does using an ad blocker protect you? How does that affect advertisers? Should you use an a dblocker? While still disclosing information about you, you won't see any ads.
- Have you noticed recently…that it's getting harder to browse?…You want to look up something or read an article…or watch a video, and all of a sudden,…(hands clapping) bam, an ad pops up…and shoves the content down the page or opens another window…or does something else to interrupt you.…That's why ad blockers have become so popular.…Ad blockers speed up your browsing…because they do just that, they block ads.…Web sites load slowly because of all the ads on the page…and all the trackers tagging your computer with cookies.…
Ad blockers reduce the number of ads, so pages load faster.…And using an ad blocker on your mobile phone can also…reduce your data consumption by not downloading ads.…On your computer, you usually…enable ad blocking in your browser.…But if you use Google Chrome, remember that Google…can still track your browser activity…even with an active ad blocker.…Not all ad blockers are created equal, so do your research.…
Some only partially block the ads.…These have a separate agreement with advertisers…
