Ads are like UV rays. Cumulative effect is harmful.

It's funny how blocking them from view improved my internet experience. I suspect it made me less susceptible to their attempts to lure me away from the content I really wanted to access.

And yes, I know ads pay revenue for the websites, but too bad. My uncluttered mental landscape is worth a lot to me.
