Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Based on data obtained through the Pulse Test Pilot experiment,
 [https://medium.com/firefox-test-pilot/firefox-test-pilot-pulse-
 graduation-a3dc2212cce0 Mozilla's Test Pilot team concluded] that "**Ads
 hurt user sentiment**. One of the strongest effects on sentiment was our
 proxy for the number of ads: requests made by the page to hostnames on the
 Disconnect.me tracking protection list. This covaried with the overall
 number of requests, total page weight, and each of the timers, so it’s
 unclear if this effect is due to a specific aversion to ads, or to their
 consequences on performance."
