what's beyond me is that 95% of people won't care. We will of course but most will just put up with it.

Nah. Those who installed adblocker did this for a reason. They’ll put up with it for maybe a week at max before they get annoyed by the full-Screen hot singles in their area in tab 69 that plays music.

I switched to apple years ago because I wanted to know why I hate it so much and use Firefox ever since.

Nah. Those who installed adblocker...

The point is that 99.9% of people don't.

If around 58% is equivalent to 99.9% that is, and as long as this source is correct.

I usually don't give a fuck about ads, but they've gotten increasingly annoying lately. Used to be that the popular websites were classier and less intrusive with their ads, that's why they were popular. Now the biggest websites (most obviously YouTube) are the ones with the craziest most intrusive ads.
