Because like it or not, ads are a vital part of the internet.
- adg001 14y agoI didn't questioned the ad-based internet ecosystem. My question was about the AdTrap competitive advantage, if any. I should have stated it better: assuming, for the sake of discussion, that we want an ad-blocking device, what will prevent modem/router manufacturers from embedding an ad-filtering proxy into their devices, tomorrow? From the OEM perspective, more features means bringing more value. In turn, an ad-blocking router/modem would erode the need for a specialized device a la AdTrap.
- relix 14y agoAh I see, sorry I misinterpreted. I think the routers where you can flash your own linux on, and run it as a server, might already be able to do so. Other than that I think they innovate too slowly to be a significant competitor to AdTrap, for now.
