Thoth Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I block everything. Nothing will get past this trusty Firefox. I update my Adblock every week just to make sure one of those stupid ads gets through. Only thing I love more than using the net is seeing the net with no freaking ads. One goddamn ad I see and its gone. Wiped out. LOL. I sounded ****ed but I'm pretty calm. I just dislike ads. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koding Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I don't block ads but not because I think it's stealing or anything. I just don't block them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blush Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yes. I absolutely love the Adblock extension. I'm so used not to seeing ads nowadays that you can imagine my reaction when I do see ads in Internet Explorer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePast Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 If anyone thinks I'm stealing business, then they're pretty stupid. 586099287[/snapback] Use your adblock and go to Enviromental Chemistry and you find a webmaster that thinks just that.

+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted June 27, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted June 27, 2005 It isn't right to make people see that crap on every site everyday. Most of it is bullsh*t anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovell Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Use your adblock and go to Enviromental Chemistry and you find a webmaster that thinks just that. 586126329[/snapback] :blink: Web Publishers like myself provide content. Companies like Opera deliver that content. Each has to find a way to make a living. There are many publishers and there are many content delivery companies. As a company Opera is saying if they are to deliver a publisher's content, they are going to place an ads in their toolbar that is targeted based on the content of the webpage being displayed. If a publisher does not agree to these terms, their only option is to block Opera and prevent Opera users from accessing their content. Can someone please explain to me why that would bother a "web publisher" :blink: I'm sure like many Opera users you will be justifibly upset at being denied access to webpages you requested. Your gevience isn't with the website that blocked you, rather with Opera who uses predatory practices to increase profits for their shareholders.

benjaminzsj Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Some ads are negligible, but others are annoying, since no program can tell I block them all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolslacker Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 the program depends on which browser you use.

abc@home Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Use your adblock and go to Enviromental Chemistry and you find a webmaster that thinks just that. 586126329[/snapback] Hehe! I don't use ff nor adblock. I use proxomitron which blocks not only the ads there but also that "little" script which checks whether ads are blocked. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I tried that extension, but it also blocks the online movies. an example would be collegehumor.comYes, I do use Firefox. 586127348[/snapback] There is an extension called adblock plus where you can whitelist (exclude) sites from blocking ads and would solve your problem, but I'd say you have a bad filter/rule in your list.

weilik Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I hate ads and popups. That is one of the many reasons on why I sticked with Mozilla because the extensions that go with it - AdsBlock simply rocks! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
