Ad-Blocker - Why need it?

Normally I do not use Google Chrome because Internet Explorer is better.
Now since I got Chrome I install 2 extensions: Ad-block and Facebook Ad-block.
The reason I use chrome with the extension because I go to certain website and one IT forum which have this java script problem that crashes my browser. Now since I use Chrome with the ad-block extension and I can go on the website freely.
The main point of this is very easy - I understand that the web developer like to make money with ads and lose revenue by me blocking ads and I respect that. But some ads are overkill and clogs up the bandwidth of the website and causes popups and blocking the ad made me easier and for example - YouTube: I do not always have the time to watch adverts before I watch the video as some IT task requires troubleshooting and results and need to get to the point when getting important information and ads are the last thing to see and slow my time.

If you thinking about the best ad-block extensions for Google Chrome which are: Ad-block and Facebook Ad-block.
