It is like those who label “adware” and “contextual” as bad things — the clue is in the title. Piracy is a no no for these whiter than white consumers, but someone spending money developing a tool then having the “nerve” to want to support it with ads — the CHEEK! A few bad eggs installing such with no notification spoiling it for the rest of us.

Clear your cookies to prevent them “spying on you”, then complain you get blasted with the same ad over and over because frequency capping won’t work without it.

On the same soapbox, block inline ads and grumble like a pensioner and label those who dare to monetise websites as scum. Then pop down the newsagents and PURCHASE a magazine for it’s content AND put up with ads on almost every page.

I am fed up with surfing on new machines and wondering why AdSense doesn’t render then spending 5 minutes tracking down which app is responsible.
