Why I Don't Block Ads

Link: AdBlock Plus has 4M users in France

I have both Chrome and Firefox installed on my computer and used to install programs that block advertising, but I don't do this anymore. I understand that many websites need advertising in order to generate revenue to pay for servers, writers, and so forth, so advertising actually helps keep good content on the internet that is available free for everyone. But another reason why I liked to keep ads on my websites was because, without advertising, websites suddenly have ugly white empty spaces. Sometimes advertising on a website integrates well with the content and make the website look good, but without the advertising, it just looks wrong.
