Keep killing the internet guys... I don't support ad blocking measures at all. It's the same as DVRs. I despise them because eventually, quality tv and internet will just go away. The moneys got to come from somewhere. Why would a company WASTE money on an ad people will just skip. They wont. Then why would cable providers buy a show from a television production company? They wont. Then why would those production companies produce shows if they cant sell them? They wont. It trickles down to killing your own interests off. It's the same with the internet... Unless you are Google.

You've have got to be kidding right, who would want their browser full of advertisement, do you realize that some website only exist for the the sake of making money off of your clicks?. Why give them money and besides that only distracts you from what you are searching for on the internet doesen't it. As far as the addons for Firefox, they are just great besides, **if** you really **do** like some of the advertisements you can just unblock them but telling others or to discourage downloading these gread addons is not the way to spread your message about viewing ads now is it.

Why would I be kidding? If my browser space has to be shared between ads and content I am fine with that for this reason: Without the ads what incentive is there for someone to put that content up for everyone to see and pay for it? Very little. That is why I'd rather share screen space between content and ads rather than have an ad free browser with no content at all. I'm not some communist idiot who thinks its wrong for people to make money. Why shouldn't there be sites who's goal is to make money?
