【原创】Can we use Adblocker or not?

With the development of the internet, more and more people are using Adblocker to remove advertisement on the websites. It is estimated that the number of active users who uses Adblocker in 2016 are approximately four times than that in 2013. There are debates on whether we should use Adblocker or not? Is it morally wrong to use Adblocker?

For the people who support using Adblocker, they believe there are lots of benefits by using it. The most evident advantage by using Adblocker is that it can save people’s time by loading the webpages faster and making the webpages more cleaner than before. It can also save resources, like CPU, bandwidth and memories. Another reason is that using Adblocker is people’s freedom. Because using Adblocker doesn’t mean to modify the website or crack the server, the only thing Adblocker do is changing the way of how to display webpages of the Brower. So, there is no way to say using Adblocker is morally wrong.

Another group of people hold a different options, they argue that using Adblocker is a wrong thing. They believe that users should offer their attentions or personal data for exchanging free content on the websites. People who makes content on the internet want to get paid from the advertisement. Using Adblocker will cut down the revenue of the creator who have put a lot of effort on the content. Also, they believe that using Adblocker is undermining free services on the internet. Fewer people would like to create content on the websites because they won’t get paid due to the Adblocker. This will be a bad thing to everybody, so they think that we should stop using Adblocker now.

As far as I am concerned, I tend to agree that using Adblocker is NOT a wrong thing. I believe that advertisement can’t create value if we don’t need it. I think Adblocker gives us an option to choose which advertisement could displayed in Brower. Besides, many advertisement published on website contains fake, false and fraud content. Using Adblocker is the response to those useless and harmful advertisment.

By the way, I am using Stylish (userstyles.org) to block all advertisement on Baidu (www.baidu.com) . Because many advertisement on Baidu include misleading information.
