So what is a good alternative to AdBlockPlus ? (that blocks everything and doesn't play these "non intrusive ads" games EDIT:adding ' by default.' ).
EDIT 2:
I did read the article and I know it is an option but making viewing ads of any kind opt in vs opt out is (imho) dubious. When the user installs an extension called ad-BLOCK plus, explicitly to block adds, just block them by default dammit and let any users who want to, opt out selectively.
I also don't want a situation where a user has to opt out with every upgrade and so on. Nutshell, I don't trust the devs anymore,who seem to be selling out the users.
I don't know much about ad networks or javascript so on Hacker News I am asking for alternatives, from those who are experts. Why the downvotes? wtf?
- gst 15y agoDid you even read the article? AdBlockPlus blocks everything - just not by default.
- jaredsohn 15y agoIf AdBlock Plus goes evil, another option might be AdBlock (not sure what they block, but it is an alternative.) And I think both extensions are open source so somebody could just fork it.
- gchucky 15y agoEr, the article says it's just an option that's enabled by default, and that you can disable it if you want.
