Ad blockers don't just block ads on the internet - they actually break websites such as British Airways and Vodafone, a new study has found.

According to tests conducted on the UK's 100 most popular websites, ad blockers didn't just block pop-ups, but accidentally corrupted useful parts of a website, such as an airline check-in screens or retail order tracking pages. If you were browsing, all you would see is an error message or simply a chunk missing on screen, but no explanation for what was behind it.

I don't use airline checkin. :satisfied

It's always been possible for a website to malfunction or not show you an item with adbocking - right clicking Mr Icon lets you disable it briefly or make it turn it off for that website on every occasion.
