I do not feel guilty using ad blocking extensions when websites make their websites almost unusable without them. There should be an advertising industry initiative to move to a new standard that minimizes the content so that the ads do not make sites unnavigable. The ads would not be as rich in content, but if the rich content makes people use ad blockers, what good is the rich content?
