I find it really funny when a site asks me to turn off my adblocker, and my blocked element count is displaying 60-100+. Not a chance.
Meanwhile, duckduckgo never asked. They're pretty awesome (check their wikipedia page) so I turned blocking off.
They rewarded me with a couple subtle, text-only ads that didn't disrupt my load time or experience. <3
If we want the web to be a better place, we have to use and support companies who are making it one even if it means not getting to use the 'best'. Like Firefox. Damn I miss Chrome's performance, but the alternatives won't get better and compete unless we back them.
