> If they send ads along with their free pages, we'll delete them.

IDK who "we" is in this sentence, but if you mean "the average internet user" then you're wrong. There are ads on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Google, YouTube, Twitter, PornHub... No significant percentage of the population has "deleted" these apps or websites because of ads.

It means people like me, like the users of this site. It also means people who know me personally because I make sure to tell them about uBlock Origin and install it on every browser I use. You bet they like the ad-free web.

I can't help everyone but I try.

I don't know who "we" is either. Which means I'm just extra confused by the large number of ad-blocker-blockers that exist on the internet. I mean, what disobedience surface are they even targeting? Literally nobody blocks ads, it's an urban legend! xD
