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.'"

    I'm speechless. This is a dumb idea and it made the front page. Not suprised that slashdot has gone down hill in recent years.

    Two weeks ago Blake Ross tried to get slashdot to put up info on Mozilla's week 4 marketing program. It's good to see something so stupid making the front page, but something important (requiring much community support) does not.

    Here's a big FUCK YOU slashdot!

      I sense a great disturbance in the force, there is a $rtbl in the future of several moderators.
