Yup, I keep mine enabled at all times. Anytime I've tried selectively disabling them, I get burnt with increasingly intrusive ads. I might be convinced to enable some kind of "ethical ads" filter that only permits ads are known to be unobtrusive and not track, but then you need to trust that whoever maintains that list wont succumb to incentives.

I will never disable mine. I think back to when malware was served from ads on nytimes.com.

If you let your guard down, someone will mess up and let malware through.

Adblockers are security.
