So if you want to support particular sites by allowing ads, and block ads on other sites, you can. Actually, white-listing domains so that ads show on them is fairly easy for adblock plus.

Most people dont WANT to see them. If your content is worth money, then charge for it. I pay a monthly subscription fee to a number of sites I frequent to disable ads and still view content.

I titled it <a href="http://catholictechtips.stblogs.com/2008/05/05/myspace-mozilla-firefox/" rel="nofollow">MySpace & Mozilla Firefox</a> I really get annoyed by ads on the internet. I understand that it is a source of revenue for many, however some of the ads can be somewhat inappropriate or at times intrusive. I really like AdBlock Plus for these reasons alone.

It costs the publishers thousands of dollars a year to accommodate for people who want to skim the content and refuse to provide the publishers with any value in return. Consuming content is part of modern living, you cant get a news paper or magazine without ads, nor can you get you TV shows without them, despite the use of DVRs which is made for replay, not for skipping ads. I liken the ad blocking to stealing. I dont think anyone would want to be on the other side, trying to eek a living from our creativity. Why are actors and musicians entitled to make money from people consuming their artistic works and web masters are not? I have collected a whole lot of information on this subject and have recently release a technology that bypasses ad-blocking software. Of course it is up to the web master to use this Anti-Ad blocking technology with caution. With the power to deliver ads at their whim it must be critical for the publisher to recognize what is a good mix of ads and content. If people come to your site and are bombarded with ads every time the visit they will soon quit visiting your website. I enable the publisher to deliver ads, if they abuse the tool its not my fault. People will vote with their clicks in the end. Thats how it should be. I think that people will figure that in order to consume good content they will have to deal with the ads. Thats a fact of life and it will remain that way if I have anything to say about it. Ciao. Dylan Rosario adUup - President and Inventor You should read my article on this subject Anti-Ad Blocking
