Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Sign our Acceptable Ads Manifesto · 2014-04-04 16:05 by Jessica Ciesielski

Yesterday we launched, together with PageFair, Reddit, Customer Commons and the Anti-Advertising Agency our Acceptable Ads Manifesto. The manifesto aims to collect signatures from organizations and internet users who want to make the internet a better place for everyone.

As you know, we don’t hate advertising per se, but nobody wants obtrusive blinking ads and content-obscuring rollovers going crazy on their computers and smartphones. Therefore we created some guidelines to show what we think an Acceptable Ad should look like.

If you want to become part of the change, read the manifesto, sign it and help us making the internet a better place!

Looking forward to welcome you on board!

    Hi, I know this presents to you an interesting paradox, but would you like to post adds on my blog, you see I am broke and want to help you in some manner. And just think, you could then block your own add, think of the Irony

    The manifesto is a decent start, but it doesn’t address the main reason I block all ads, which is the privacy issue. Ads and behavioral tracking go hand-in-hand, and if/until that changes I will continue to opt out of “acceptable ads”.
