Could you elaborate on that please?

Mine is handbuilt and fairly long. I tend to knock of a lot of annoying animated gifs that aren't really ads so I have lots of long, arbitrary looking urls :confused:

Ads pay for the content you see on the internet.

If you don't see the ads, they aren't being loaded.

If the ads are not loaded, the website does not get paid.

I don't remember signing any contracts saying that I had to agree not to remove ads from webpages when viewing them. You sound like the kind of person who enjoys watching the RIAA sue little kids for sharing music (but even worse, since there are at least copyright laws against copying music).

Seriously, html and all the associated languages and tricks that go with it to make up webpages are open standards and any browser is free to interpret them how it wants (or how it's user wants it to). I can't think of anything worse that could happen to the internet than people starting to enforce laws about what you can and can't use to view a webpage.

The fact that sites don't get ad revenue from me does indicate a problem with the system, but it's far from qualifying as 'stealing'. I fully expect that, if it ever gets to be a serious problem, webmasters will make it harder to block ads (and rightfully so) and we'll have an adblocking arms race the same way we have pop up blocking arms races. If it ever gets to the point where the ad providers overwhelmingly win, then I'll either stop going to such websites or try to get a payed subscription so I don't have to see the crap. Thankfully, I'm in a small enough minority of people determined and capable enough to block the ads that it won't be practical for providers to target my habits.

Even as a last resort, I can always uninstall flash and disable animated gifs and that will take care of the majority of it.

No, it's not stealing content any more than TiVo is stealing content. You can display content that comes into your home however you like. No copyrighted material has been reporduced and no content that you shouldn't have access to has been brought into your home. If some guy hands you a free newspaper and then you tear out the ads before you read it, you have done nothing wrong, certainly not legally wrong. Read the Betamax case... the part about people having a right to the private use of what comes into their homes. You agree to no binding agreement to view ads when you go to a website.

This doesn't mean it's really the ethical thing to do, or that it won't make things worse. Tivo has had a huge role in the growth of product placement on TV for instance, which some people might find annoying. If adblock or similar software ever gained a real userbase then it might lead to more intrusive web ads, but as an extension to a browser with less than 10% market share requiring configuration by the user to work, only those most dedicated to not seeing ads will ever make use of it, and these types of people are not very likely to make impulse purchases or clicks on ads anyway.

It makes the long paragraphs very painful to read.

Edit: yikes, it seems to be a gecko problem :confused: Safari and Opera both wrap the long lines

Edit2: thanks, that's much better. But you must have a large monitor :p

O yea - anyone that thinks this is stealing. . . all you have to do is show me where I agreed to it in the first place. There are tons of content put up free just because people want to. The internet does not (and was not) profit driven. It was created for the FREE exchange of information. If anyone can make a profit - so be it. But for every place that decides to charge for it, there will be another created to give it away. Nature of the beast.
