I actually don't use adblocker because sometimes I find cool as shit on the ads like clothing or new game that I never heard about coming out soon or sneaker deals but yea even tho it is a pain watching youtube ads for like 15 secs or 5 secs than skip or even 30 secs I get over it quick

I've whitelisted the sites I use the most. Although, I do have it on RoosterTeeth and Tested but I'm also a sponsor on those sites, so it's kind of null and void.

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 MB: MSI Z77A-GD55  CPU: i5 3330 OCd to 3.4Ghz CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 2x8GB @ 1600MHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming PSU: Seasonic M12II 650W HDD: Two Seagate Barracuda 2TB @ 7200 RPM SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

I use an adblocker and whitelist all sites that I visit regularly. I mainly use it because many websites have really intrusive ads that just annoy you and/or waste your time. If I visit a webiste more than twice I will disable it and see how they do ads. If they're intrusive it stays on, if they're fine then I'll happily keep it disabled.

 

This. Needless to say linus channels are unblocked but some of the other sites for anime are so I don't have do deal with the damn ads mid video.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

I do use ABP for firefox, but I'd whitelist pages like LTT of it was as easy as with Adblock for chrome. Someone made a tutorial here, not too long ago on how to whitelist pages in adblock for chrome. But I use the amazon affiliate link to support LTT.

Still I think Adblockers are essential. Try and disable it for a day, it just gets annoying.

I do that as well with Amazon + Whitelist Ads for his channels + support him as a gold member when I can (had to turn it off this month due to money issues) + I give money back to the community for our build-off thread....money it comes and goes, I'm really not greedy. hahaha.

I use it, but mainly to keep invasive and potentially harmful ads out of my way. If I happen to frequent, or truly enjoy the content of a website, I find other means of supporting it; E.g. paying for subscriptions, donating or buying merch.

Cheers,

Linus
