Great for the internet! More people will install an adblocker (hopefully ublock origin).
why would this lead to more adblocker installs? it's a message about already having one
Like it backfired for YouTube, it will be the case for Facebook. People become aware of them through the news it generates.
While i like ublock and use it myself, i hope not everyone uses it! There need to be different adblockers. Same as just one browser, or one forum is vulnerable to different things, so would adblocks be.
I agree that it's better to have multiple options. The issue with adblockers I often see is that they are adware themselves when not malware. With ublock origin, you can block contents of various types and not just ads. I prefer people having ublock origin than any bad option out there.
