   My suspicion as well. I was talking to my boss yesterday about the results of this poll, and he had no idea there were addons for blocking advertising. And, being the contrarian he is, he didn't install one after I told him how to find the

    Excellent! Haven't browsed all the links yet, but I didn't see any examples for injecting anything except trackers. Templates for some of the more common scripts like AddThis, and a few advertising examples, would be nice. Not that it's an

    Write some JS to delay loading the adverts until after all of the other content on your page(s) has been loaded and displayed. JQuery (especially) makes it easy to delay this kind of stuff and do the <div> injections well after you

    I was doing $40K to $60K of additional income a year selling books back in eBay's prime (late 90's, early 00's), so it was a fairly easy move to the Amazon Marketplace for me. I've been looking for another auction site for a decade now, an

    4. Make sure when you explain "A" that the person you're talking to doesn't hear it as "B". Not sure why, but this seems to be very common with programmers -- especially when one programmer is explaining a task to another programmer.
