I understand what you're saying. But Adblock works on every site, not just TOTV. Many sites that I go to every day run verrrrry slowly without it. Mainly the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which happens to be my home page.

It also provides some security features. Disabling ads for some sites, like your bank and cc accounts is highly recommended. Admin can ask people to disable Adblock for TOTV site if need be.
