I use a adblocker not especially to block ads. It makes most websites faster, because - loading ads from overloaded ad-farms - flash - javascript monsters - video - ....
I use it for those very reasons. And to kill popup adverts or floating banners that impede reading. Unfortunately, some sites refuse to display if they detect an adblocker. I do not ban all adverts, only the nosy ones: I understand sites need the money, but not at the cost of impairing web experience. Add blocker tools also slow down browsers, because the procedure breaks optimizations by the browser: it has to read in sequence and examine before allowing to load other components. There is somewhere a very good explanation of this by a Chrome developer, maybe I can find the link. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
