u can get an ad blocker for free no money and this just blurs them and asks for money

The thing I like about Blur is that, unlike ad blockers, you have the option to view ads if you like. Sometimes you want to see who is advertising and with Blur it's so easy. (feature request: How about a hot key or context menu item to unblur all ads on page, for that page only?) I installed it and it was only after a couple of days of using it did it start to grow on me. I usually don't like ANY extensions but this one is a keeper. Disclosure, I know the author so it's possible that I'm biased (but I'm not).
