Why do people not use adblock?

But adblock has 4.5 stars on the chrome web store

Ublock has only 3.6 stars

I will ignore the reviews on the Firefox version because Google is much better at keeping users data secure than Mozilla

Because I want the people running the website to earn some money with my visit.

But couldnt you just use an allowlist?

I could do many things, but I don't because:

  • that would require effort
  • if I use a service I pay for it as the provider requests, or I don't use it at all. I also donate to the Wikipedia and contribute to open source.
