Software that blocks all advertisement is an infringement of the rights of web site owners and developers.
While blanket ad blocking in general is still theft, the real problem is Ad Block Plus’s unwillingness to allow individual site owners the freedom to block people using their plug-in. Blocking FireFox is the only alternative. Demographics have shown that not only are FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet, they actually are even smaller in terms of online spending, therefore blocking FireFox seems to have only minimal financial drawbacks, whereas ending resource theft has tremendous financial rewards for honest, hard-working website owners and developers.
Nah. They’re not kidding.
But they are delusional. Is 38% a “somewhat small percentage?” ‘Cause that’s the percentage of visitors to this site who currently use FireFox.
What do you say? Can we grow that percentage? Let’s try.
andrew–i downloaded mozilla firefox at work–i think you might be able to.
yeah, i hate when i’m trying to use applications and it doesn’t work, so i automatically have to switch to IE. And..it pisses me off that IE is just stealing some of the good stuff from FF. But, i like orange more than blue, so i’m going to keep sticking with it. ha!
Justice Technology Services have probably put several stickies on my account already; the occasional foray into looking at punk and hardcore band photography sites has popped up the dreaded “The page you are looking for is not accessible from OPS computers” page. We don’t even have flash on our machines fer crissakes. If I download something on my machine, my very friendly IT systems officers are going to have a very unfriendly chat with me in the server room.
Although, maybe I could bribe them with Batman comics.
Is there a response to the Myths page? Hey, at work I don’t have a choice so IE for me.
