I just realized that I have not seen an ad in a while.

The only blocking app I have is Ghostery, and it is disabled.

Is Firefox Quantum blocking ads?

Well, FWIW, with Firefox 59.0.2 I see banner ads again. Is it Mozilla, is it PF, is it me...? I dunno.

I just started seeing ads with Chrome with the AdGuard plug-in.

PF is hosting (and selling) ads directly now and and in the process of completely eliminating Google Adsense — since, despite increased pageviews, ad impressions, and click through rates, Adsense revenue is but a tiny fraction of what it was in years past. Google is effectively attempting to demonetize PF. I’m not going to let that happen.

Strangely enough, I'm fine with that.

I remember you saying that was going to happen. I didn't realize it would mean seeing ads again. I, too, am fine with p-f.com being at least partially self-supporting.
