There were over a dozen of 0day exploits this year alone. Some used in water hole style attacks, so not even that targeted. And these are state of the art incidents which would have pwned even users with all the updates installed.

After the patch has been pushed out, exploits become progressively cheaper so letting users to postpone security updates is a crime.

Ads, which is about running untrusted and usually hostile JS in your briwser, is the Pandora box of 0day exploits. Cut off ads, disable JS by default, and you'll solve 99% of 0days.
