Not even that. Most of my software engineer colleagues do not use ad blockers at all. They are definitely aware of them, but they don't use them, and they don't bother to use them. Which is surprising.

You would expect that the people who have the ability to write perfect selector rules to block ads and understand how all of this works would be the first to use them. But no.

I've seen this too, and we see it right here on HN every time this discussion comes up. You can even see it on this discussion just above: there's a bunch of people here who just don't want to use them because they want to "support content creators" or whatever. There's even some people here who will tell you you're a bad person for blocking ads.

I find it baffling too.
