Besides the obvious annoying pop-up and auto-playing ads for which I originally decided to block ads, my other major concerns about privacy and security are now my primary reasons to continue blocking ads.
I use NoScript, Ublock Origin, and Privacy Badger. Yes it seems like overkill but I feel it's necessary. For websites I frequent and trust I will disable ublock, but as it turns out the ad networks on those sites often stealthily track me so Privacy Badger will block it.
Advertisers only have themselves to blame for the increasing ad blocking use. Give me reasonable ads without the privacy invasion and security risks and I'll allow you to show me your ads.
