Eighteen per cent of web users now say they are using ad blockers, up from 15 per cent five months ago.

The increase has been reported in the latest research by the Internet Advertising Bureau, is equivalent to more than 1.3 million people adopting the technology since June. Although the increase is modest, it suggests dissatisfaction with ads is growing — especially among the young, with 35 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds saying they blocked ads, compared to just 15 per cent of over 55s.

Ad blocking is more prevalent among men surveyed (23 per cent) than women (13 per cent) and the propensity to block ads decreases with age – from 35 per cent of 18-24 year olds to 13 per cent of people aged 55 or over.
