Let's not forget that ads can contain exploits and malware as Mozilla found out last week. All because of an ad from a Russian site.
I just bought a new laptop, cost me over a grand. Amongst the first things I did to it was install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware/Anti-Exploit and then Firefox along with ABP, WOT, Privacy Badger, and NoScript. Just like my precision machinist's tools, I have ZERO intention of letting my new laptop get all kinds of dirt and grit in it to grind it down and make it less and less usable. I take care of my stuff, and this is no different.
Not to mention, I only have a 6mbps Internet connection that I pay for. I am NOT wasting bandwidth on ads unless they are relatively seamless and unobtrusive.
