the vast majority of AdBlock users block almost everything - including the 'useful ads for useful products'

Is there such an option in AdBlock? If there is, I wouldn't mind seeing those ads. Currently they get blocked along with the rest, though.




No, not really. You can subscribe to different block lists, but last I checked the goal of all the lists (or at least all the default lists) is to block all ads.

And anyway many of the block rules target ad networks and platforms. One site may use doubleclick.net's ad servers to serve up great, well-targeted ads and someone else may use the same system to server really obnoxious ads.

Personally, I don't subscribe to any lists and add all the block rules by hand. I really just don't want anything that moves or talks to me. But it ain't easy.
