Blocking ads saves bandwidth and battery from phones and laptops.

The time when websites used to have the right balance between ads and user experience has passed many years ago, and it's not going to change any time soon.

Honestly, I think it is going to get even worse because Google already knows that people will be eventually using more LLM than searching on a Browser. For most people, it is a much more convenient experience.

That's why your search results are now getting worse than used to be. These bloated websites are being much more promoted in the search ranking system. Generating income while search engines are still relevant for most people.
