The "we" reading this post? Yeah, probably.

The internet population as a whole? Absolutely not, nowhere close.

I've been using Adblock or its descendants since the original Firefox extension where downloadable filter lists were a separate addon, and every time I have to browse a mainstream web site when using a "normal" person's computer it blows my mind how bad the experience is with all kinds of extra iframes I never normally see full of ads moving around, modals, etc. without even getting in to video content.

Normal people don't troubleshoot things like we do, if it doesn't work they try to do the same thing over and over again until they get bored or annoyed and then either move on or call one of us to "fix it".

Exactly. Besides, why should a grandma lose online banking access because some IT guy (or gal, I'm not judging) fat-fingered a certificate revocation in production and now the site is broken?
