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.

    Have you ever sucked off a dog? Have you ever had a dog's dick in your mouth? Can you remember what it felt like to run your tongue over it? Do you remember him panting and turning his head to lick you all over? Does the memory of him remind you of the taste of his semen? Have you ever made love to a dog?

    All 7 of them. Some of them apparently liked ads. Me, I like blocking them.

    Firefox just doesnt have all the neat toolbars that show you ads like other browsers such as IE.

    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.

    oh geez! you clever people!

    you all ever see that episode of Brady Bunch where Bobby takes everything so literally?? Wasn't that stinking annoying?

    Exactly. Geeks who think they are so smart are stinking annoying.

    Thank you, friedegg, for noticing the intent of my post... and not simply massaging your ego. :)

    You push this crap, and you reject my submission? The only thing worse than that is when this story gets reposted tomorrow.
