Adblock Plus Maker Proposes Change To Help Sites

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the next-comes-the-ad-block-blocker dept.

Dotnaught writes "Wladimir Palant, maker of the Firefox extension Adblock Plus, on Monday proposed a change in his software that would allow publishers, with the consent of Adblock Plus users, to prevent their ads from being blocked. Palant suggested altering his software to recognize a specific meta tag as a signal to bring up an in-line dialog box noting the site publisher's desire to prevent ad blocking. The user would then have to choose to respect that wish or not."

    I put even money on you being a Linux user too. And probably a heavy downloader of copyright content. Typical freeloader mentality. Smelly loser living off the hard work and sacrifice of others.

    Scum like you makes the internet unpleasant for the rest of us. Fuck you.
