    If a website keeps redirecting me even without touching the ads, I use adblock. If I'm in public and hentai ads pop up, I use adblock. If the website becomes unusable because of the ads I use adblock. If ads drain my phone or make it super hot whenever i use my phone to read, I use adblock. But otherwise I generally won't use adblock since I usually read on a pc.

    Just almost of them though. Others have some specific on certain sites, like porn ads in porn sites... some of them redirects, so it counts as a visit. FIrefox Incognito is a mistake... the main window is Incognito mode but the redirect window is normal mode(at least for me)... wtf ?

    If the ads are from google, there will probably be an X button on the upper right corner and you have an option to not show that ad again.
    It was showing me ads for pregnancy and islam before.

    They're either illegal or you know what begins with Q that should not be mentioned
    No they aren't, but if you check a porn site it is likely to find porn adds

    Ad blocker is a necessity, really.

    I disable it if the site is trustworthy and doesn't have cancerous ads, but having ads that lag my browser or redirects or poppups are just a big no.
