Crossfit might kill you, but as a user there's no practical downside to ad blocking. Faster web? Less chance of malware? Less annoyance? Heck, a product marketed as doing all of those things could probably be sold all on its own if not for the meta-irony of an ad for an ad blocker.

Seriously though, this is a good thing. Everybody needs to know about and install one. It should be considered a part of basic internet literacy.

The downside: all content starts becoming premium or paid content. Or it disappears behind all together. Without ads, YouTube would not exist in its current form. Though something like vimeo make take over, not everyone wants to pay to host their content.
