If they get rid of popups, auto play audio and video, and other ultra annoying features, I'll be happy to turn off my ad blocker.

I feel the same way. It's the really really annoying stuff that makes me turn everything off. A static photo is fine but junk jumping around on my screen is a no no.

There are already lots of sites out there that won't let you see content with an ad-blocker. For the most part, I leave the site. I think only twice have I disabled my ad blocker to view content.

We Canadians have to deal with a lot of geo-blocking too.
