'As of August 2015, Adblock Plus was installed on approximately 9.55 million browsers with German IP addresses. ', "About 90 percent of those sites don't pay, but the largest 10 percent make payments to Adblock Plus for the white-listing."
'While Internet users have the freedom "not to access this unified offer," neither they nor Adblock Plus have the right to "dismantle" it. '
'While Adblock Plus users can easily turn off even those "acceptable ads," about 75 percent accept the default settings and allow the ads. '
'About 3,500 websites are on the Adblock Plus "whitelisting" program that allows for "acceptable ads" to be viewed by default. '
