I could live with ads:

* If I was assured they didn't collect my private information or track my behavior

Ads very rarely offer me something I'm interested in. They disrupt my experience, but I could live with them under the above condition.

Or were free of malware. Also, if the ad servers didn't bog down the web site loading.

I made an ad blocker for iOS that I popped up on the App Store so friends and family can find it easily.

But lately, some websites seem to prefer displaying nothing unless the blocker is disabled.

For those instances, I recommend using Chrome or Firefox. Then you can experience the site unprotected, if you want.

Usually it's not worth it.
