Can't agree or we're not going to progress back to an acceptable median.
Locally hosted, tracking free, messages of sponsorship or static images of some relevant tool or service should be reserved for an Easylist "hard line" optional file that I opt into. The default lists should be removing, with extreme prejudice, items that carry cross site tracking and attention grabbing overlays, sound and animations. There'll always be some who go into options and tick everything.
I don't much like adblock's approach to taking money for letting acceptable ads through either.
We might be able to achieve some level of sanity if sites like stackoverflow, troyhunt or the ad network that was trying to do it right got some benefit for trying to be ethical about it.
- NoGravitas 10y agoI agree that it would make a lot of sense to pull ads that meet this set of criteria into a separate blocklist, and that ad-blockers should not enable that list by default.
