Not Enough Ads? Install Adbar.

Posted by michael on from the !tangled-web dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Jesse Ruderman brings the worst feature of Opera, Advertisements, to Firefox with his extension Adbar. According to the page, 'adbar displays Google ads related to pages you view. Because the ads are relevant, they are occasionally useful. When adbar isn't displaying ads from Google, it displays Firefox-related things such as silly Firefox slogans, ads for other Mozilla software, and requests for donations to the Mozilla Foundation.'"

  1. Does Google know about this? by LostCluster · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google is very strict about where they allow their ads to be shown. For example, Google will not feed ads to sites that express extreme political views, or deal with taboo topics such as internet gambling.

    So, I'm wondering if they approved this project. If they haven't, then Google will be pulling the plug very shortly...
