Re: Poll: Do you use an ad-blocker?

I would vote for a third option along the lines of "I allow ads but block flash or don't have it installed." I used to have an adblocker installed, but switched to blocking Flash as soon as I discovered the ability for Chrome to disable flash components until I click on them. This lets the good sites with unobtrusive ads still get their impressions and hides all of the really bad things like ads with video or sound. It also doesn't hurt the browsing experience as badly as completely uninstalling flash.
