have been pressing this for around 15years meanwhile the percentage of adblock users actually got smaller.

i wonder if the the fact that the most popular ad-tech company also producing the most popular mobile os has something to do with it.

Does this number includes mobile browsers? Given the big mobile browsers do not have adblockers (or even extensions altogether?), that would explain it.
Mobile Safari has had content blockers for years.
And yet, surprisingly, almost no one is aware of it.

I have informed many of my technophile, uBO/ABP friends and colleagues that it’s possible, and not one of them was aware before I told them.

same here. then again a lot of "technophile" folks are in webdev and favor a vanilla browser experience.
pretty sure that mobile and the inclusion of masses of tech-unsavy users is responsible.
