If Adblock had a "text ads are fine" setting then I'd happily turn it on (I do leave the default setting to allow some ads on).
I don't mind supporting sites - but I cannot deal with flashing, moving, or overlaying ads. They drive me crazy.
- DanBC 13y agoWhy do you support the site with page views? Why don't you move away from sites that use bad adverts?
- Terretta 13y agoBecause I don't know that they have bad adverts. I've never seen them. I'm occasionally shocked when trying to browse something from a public computer or at an in-law's house: "People actually use the web like this???"
- Steffen012345 13y agoThat means people like you are the reason why nothing changes. If you would completely ignore bad websites instead of "tuning" them with your adblocker other websites with unobtrusive advertisements would survive.
- neiloconnor 13y agoWhat about static images? Would you find banner ads as distracting if they didn't flash, move or overlay?
- shib71 13y agoI also like it for sites that have ads everywhere. But the outright intrusive ads are the worst.
