I do not think that word means what you think it means.
You would be hard pressed to classify as racism the notion that a nation's government might try to put propaganda in a product.
Yep, it looks pretty similar to Tiger Direct. It's got that annoyingly long list of every single category/subcategory on the left. (A normal site uses the main category titles, which you can hover over to view subcategories, which circuitcity.com even has, but for some reason duplicates the feature in a worse way). And it lists every single price as "Only $x", even if they're not on sale. Are they trying to trick me with that? It's part of what gives me a bad feeling about tigerdirect/circuitcity.com.
If you check out the blog post ( http://adblockplus.org/blog/an-approach-to-fair-ad-blocking ) this originates from , the "pop-up" is like firefox's password save prompt, not an annoying separate window. He also mentions that he'll probably go with a master checkbox to disable this new feature.
Personally, I just use the "disable on this site" feature built into the Adblock icon on the toolbar if I want to show ads for a site (which I do for some sites if the ads aren't too intrusive), so I don't see this new "feature" having any impact on my user experience. Still, I can appreciate the effort to encourage people to allow unobtrusive ads on sites they frequent, so long as the option is still left to the user.
