Russ has yet to disappoint me that way. (I don't care about dodgy content, only about the safety of my browser.) And the site is worth it.

Thank you.

If the ad is blocked, the ad is not shown, resulting in no interaction with the ad = no revenue. The ad supported web may cease to exist in the future, but right now it is what funds (in part) services such as RHP.
I would assume that change would cause a lot of small sites to go out of business.
