Jumping in here as we produced that data. Global average is about 5%, but in US & UK it's about 15%. In much of Europe it's about 2X that. If you have a technical audience, 20% - 30% adblocking is now normal. If you are gamer-focused, 40% - 50% is normal.

The growth isn't driven by technical people any more; it's normal people who've grown up using web browsers and who don't think twice about installing an extension on Chrome. You're correct through that it is spreading through word of mouth. You can get more on the pagefair blog.
