Well let me say something here. The reason I USE ADBLOCKER IS because I am personally a PC collecter as a hobby and I am currently typing this on a Pentium III - M Tualatin (which is now almost 16 years old). As for the experience of Pentium III - M in Wikia, the pages work just fine without ads and the CPU usage settles down once it loaded (despite the high CPU usage when loading but PIII-M runs cool anyways); but with ads (I am fine with the still ones because ads don't take up much CPU usage unless they are flash/video that they keep refreshing their display all the time), nothing even responds (not even the ads) and I have to kill the browser by using task manager. This is also very effective even with my i7 laptop which with ads the CPU goes up to 65 degrees celcius and burn my lap. Plus the fact that Wikia doesn't even offer suscription plans for me to support wikia AND remove ads at the same time! So yea I like the ideas of using video ads and reduce the amount of ads, but just PLEASE DON'T USE AUTOPLAY (not even without sound)!
