It's pretty much just a raw data from GlobalWenIndex:
http://www.globalwebindex.net/blog/ad-blocking-jumps-by-10
In just three months, adbocking software presence risen from 28% to 38% of internet users as seen on a graph there.
What could have caused this spike? Everspamming popups? Irritating automatic stream advertisments with skyhigh audio volume? Malwaretising with clickme that leads to unwanted executables?
Dunno. But of all people I talked to who installed win10, I don't know a single one who switched on the new browser Edge which is perhaps the fastest browser that exists for a single reason - it doesn't support add-ons means no adblocking possibility.
I'm using ublock with Firefox, where I've set not blocking ads on sites I care about like RPGwatch or postimage.org. But without it, random browsing on internet was honestly pain in the arse.
