Yes. Adblock Edge on Android and can't get it yet on desktop OSes.
After seeing the impact that ad blockers have on my revenue, I choose not to use them. Easier to deal with ads than paywalls IMO.
Yes, but I disable it on selective pages, usually this pages detect the ad blocker and asks nicely to disable it to support the authors
This poll would need another option: Yes, I selectively unblock ads on individual sites
I used to use it selectively; but now that even google has started doing animated automatic-expanding block-the-page-you're viewing stuff I think I might just give up hope :(
I block Flash by default which will filter out most annoying ads but I don't target ads specifically. In general I don't mind ads as long as they're static, i.e. non-moving and non-flashing such as Push the Monkey style ads.
