I was wondering if the ads that AdBlock blocks still makes my isp count that as data used?

    Hi Joseph,

    Ads that AdBlock blocks (say that five times fast) are prevented from downloading entirely. Therefore, they will not count against your data allowance.

    However, there are some ads that AdBlock can only hide. Since they are downloaded and you just don't see them, those will count.
