I'm a bit skeptical about this "feature".

While as a developer I can understand _why_ companies scream against adblock (and that applies also to simple blogs/etc), as a user I understand perfectly that this is their own fault completely.

After so many years of companies serving pop-ups and ads that were not only huge in size (pre-adsl era, yes I'm old :p) but also giving multiple seizures and brain aneurisms, the only sane option is to just disable everything until they find a sane model (for example, something that's not as intrusive, something that does not cripple the site's layout nor it is so abstracting that messes up with the user's reading).
