Irrespective of the ads, do please ensure that you don't block ads en-masse across the internet - because most sites run honest and good ads. Try to use a blacklist-based adblocking extension with only custom filters if you want one, to ensure that you are actually blocking ads in good faith and know what ads you're blocking. I don't use an adblocker, because most adblocker devs are just out for bribes from ad agencies.

Most people jump the gun, block all ads and force sites into the red. I wouldn't mind most ads but the fact that rogue ads have the capability to redirect you obnoxiously to a rogue server (which is becoming more common in recent times) which could result in being affected by an exploit kit to infect your machine, coupled with the overly stupid screen covering ads disrupting your browsing experience makes me stick with NoScript.
