CPU drops to nothing with an ad blocker active...



Working in a cloud company all of us are pretty conscious of the cycles we consume in our architecture and the resources we consume on our client's machines. If we accidentally ran our debug code fleet-wide I'm sure we'd single-handedly bring more than a few coal peaker-plants online to handle the surge.

But our motivation is our customer's happiness and our pocketbook. For an advertiser you aren't the customer, you're the cattle.

So your adblocker is actually saving the world. One drop of oil at a time.
