Basically me every time I open a website on my work laptop, where I cannot add browser extensions because of IT policies.

I honestly cannot fathom why large companies don't include at least simple adblockers in their browser configurations. I don't even need to block youtube ads, the banners on stackoverflow are bass enough). Would probably save fairly significant amounts of bandwidth, too.

because then things would just shut down... The poor suckers that don't use adblockers are what pay the bandwidth and hosting costs for those of us that do. If it becomes the default, things would either shutdown or go paywall.
