Agree. I no longer use an ad-blocker, and haven't for some time. Especially so since CSS took over.

Originally I used NoScript (and Firefox 'View>Page Style>No Style'), now I just tend to use uMatrix, with appropriate media types disabled.

It makes for a faster, and easier to read web, where I still see the occasional ad, but once configured, usually not.

I'd guess that use with Javascript disabled seems to be accepted in part due to Safari on iOS supporing it - possibly it was the default (I can't remember).
