No. I use Adblock Plus for all of my regular browsing (on Chrome) and I also use Ghostery to reduce tracking scripts and other cruft on webpages. If a site won't display for me with my default installation of Chrome extensions, I assume it is a lousy site. If I absolutely must use the site without blocking some scripts, sometimes I hold my nose and use IE 9 for a moment to use the site, but then go back to using Chrome with Adblock and Ghostery.
It's perfectly legitimate to get up and get a drink of water instead of watching commercials on broadcast TV, and it is equally legitimate to not view advertisements on websites that post advertisements.
- coryl 14y agoThat's a false equivalency isn't it? Systematically removing all advertising from all webpages is not the same as getting up for a drink of water while watching TV.
- anigbrowl 14y agoWe're not systematically removing it. It's still there for other people. We are automating our own choice not to view it. What you do at the server side is your business.
- pasbesoin 14y agoI understand the approach, but I wouldn't us IE for the "nose holding". (Although I guess 9 and 10 are better than their predecessors.)
