[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1679534, member: 307555"] [B]chas_m[/B], I am aware sites make money with ads and I understand your points. I have issues when an extension says they will block all ads and then change to what they deem "acceptable" - which I interpret as profitable. Give me an option to opt out and I am good with that - but let me know, which looks like adblock is supposedly going to do. And regardless of what I run I know I will still get ads. Some sites I have to disable adblock, ghostery and privacy badger just to use the site. And I accept that if I want to use the site I have to do that. Keep in mind, I also live in a very rural, very slow internet service area - 1.7Mbps/768Kbps. You can only imagine how slow pages load when they are full of ads. Give me better internet speeds and maybe I will feel more inclined to feel more charitable toward "acceptable ads". Lisa [/QUOTE]
