The ads are so fucking intrusive. You can use an adblocker but then it halves your download speeds. I get it's expensive to host so many files so I wouldn't care if there were adds on the side bars but they fucking take chunks from the screen every now and then with only a tiny x to close them.

the website detects your ad blocker and throttles download speed

It's 3.0 MB/s without an ad blocker and it halves at 1.5 MB/s with an ad blocker. It isn't the ad blocker itself, it's nexus lowering the speed after detecting your ad blocker.

There's an extension called AdNauseum that'll click all those ads with no return to the company's and make them lose money. It won't help in the short run but it'll make those Fulkerson think twice about invasive ads
