The source provides the following information about the methodology: "We compiled a comprehensive list of ad-blocking software using authoritative sources, including TomsGuide, Mozilla, and DigitalTrends. Then we used Ahrefs to find out which countries regularly search for them on Google the most. Then we took the number of internet users in each country from the Telecommunication Union, divided the number of monthly Google searches by the number of internet users, and multiplied by 100,000 in order to make the results more readable."
