AdBlock Plus Updates Acceptable Ads Policy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the red-light-green-light dept.

AmiMoJo writes: By default the popular AdBlock Plus plug-in allows some "acceptable" ads to be displayed. A blog post announcing updates to policy describes the goals of the update: easier to understand, more robust and more explicit about what is and isn't acceptable. The new criteria are listed on another page, and the option to disable acceptable ads remains.

    Patreon might be a better fit for you. Matters less if people pirate your work, as they are paying to encourage more of it rather than for something.
