I have heard both sides it destroys site's revenue, it can protect you from malicious advertising. What should I do?

There is no guarantee adblocker will save you from malvertising, but generally they do a good job of blocking access to reported suspicious sites.

However, an adblocker will greatly reduce the number of intrusive, annoying ads - and thereby make your browsing faster and your online experience better. If one of the blocked CDNs happens to be serving up malvertising, well then it has protected you there also.

I say yes - an adblocker is a fundamental part of a security config.

If ads were simle images and not something flashy then I would not use adblocker, otherwise it is always on. Especialy those that pop up and block the page from further browsing until you close it or click on the ad. I hate those!

Same here and totally true. Instead of just showing simple not moving ads which can offer them money, they only make you to leave the site, so they actually lose money.
