    I used to use AdBlock Plus. I like it specifically because of the Acceptable Ads policy where it allows through ads that are unobtrusive. Because I believe in supporting sites that want to fund themselves, as long as they do it in a way that isn’t obnoxious.

    But unfortunately ABP hasn’t gotten around YouTube’s new adblock-wall. So I’ve switched to uBlock Origin in the meantime. Which unfortunately doesn’t do acceptable ads. So well done Google, you’ve now forced me into a position where I’m blocking more ads than I was before. Very smart.
