It decreases your privacy. Not using an adblocker is better than using it for privacy.

However, if your wish is to stop seeing ads, but click them, use it.

Don't be surprised when your IP is banned, or the website is banned

Again, where is my IP being banned from? Have been using it for over a year and never banned. Captchas also work just fine.

It will be in the Extension itself. Higher the percentage, higher the chances of Google thinking you are a bot.

At which point I answer a captcha and move on with my life? Seems like an OK trade
