I already see virtually no ads. My setup is Firefox with AdBlock Plus, NoScript, and RequestPolicy, proxied through privoxy.
There are really only two cases where I'd regularly see ads. One was Google text ads. But now that I've quit using Google in favor of DuckDuckGo, I don't see even those (DDG lets you turn ads off).
The other case is seeing some text ads through my email provider, which serves them over SSL -- so they are not subject to being filtered out through privoxy. This is a problem, and I've considered learning javascript just so that I can feed decrypted SSL content through privoxy to filter out the few remaining ads I get through SSL. But so far it's been such a minor problem that I haven't bothered to do so.
- eli 14y agoI'm pretty sure you are not the target audience for this product :) I would guess it's mainly for iPad owners.
- gte910h 14y agoWow, I did not think of that, but may buy it because of this
- J0415 14y agoHint: jailbreak and install AdBlock on your iPad
- eli 14y agoBut again: the people who have the time and ability to do that are not the target market.
- gte910h 14y agoSorry, I'm a developer. I don't jailbreak because I do not want to accidentally get a different experience on the device than my customers do due to jailbreak apps/the fact it's jailbroken at all.
