I have Ad-Block Plus installed on Firefox.

I don't owe a thing to any of these companies.  I won't complain that they're making money off me; that's what they do.  Doesn't mean I have to make it easy for them.

Anyone smart enough to install Adblock is generally smart enough to know not to go to ads. There's really no lost revenue.

That has to be one of the smartest statements with regards to internet ads I've ever heard.

I have Adblock installed on Google Chrome, however I have it set to turn off on specific sites that I deem worthy of advertising. So far the only website in that list is Stick Online. xD

I have AdBlock installed and it works nicely. I found it funny when I would go on NewGrounds and they would tell me how horrible I was for not allowing them to display ads to me. I also have No-Script installed to stop the video and audio advertisements on random pages, it works great.
