The only possible time I'll stop using AdBlock is when these are met: ● Browsers do not allow popups or pop-under windows
● Flash is totally eliminated, and along with that, are SuperCookies, and Flash itself.
● No more noisy ads.
● No more ads that get in the way of getting things done (e.g. Ad Page is displayed for 5 seconds before it lets you read an article)
● Deceptive ads that pretend to be "Download" buttons (usually in software download websites).
● No more ads that mess up the usability of the websites, usually by emulating OS controls.
What are great example of a good ads? ● Bing and Google ads are honest, plain, and non-deceptive. ● Facebook ads are perfect. You can even report if an ad is not interesting; You can block an ad from a specific advertiser.
For the meantime, we can use AdBlock as "AdUnblock", meaning, we pick the sites who deserve ad views.
I can't run it using Firefox 5. :( Or is it designed that way? HTML5 apps that only work in Chrome? I'm just asking. Come on Google, you are Not Microsoft. Show them how to make apps that inter-operate with all major browsers!
"Then Google+ isn't for you. If you don't have a problem, why go looking for a solution?"
Not to mention that this reply is snarky and condescending.
The issue here is, what are the main differentiators of Google+ from Facebook and from Twitter?
For example, I thought I didn't need Twitter anymore, because believe it or not, I though Digg already solved the problem of connecting with people and sharing links with them. It turned out the Twitter has a different kind of value proposition from Digg. And look, Twitter is bigger than Digg or Reddit!
Google, Google. Stop crying. Just continue copying Bing. Infinite scroll images. And large image backgrounds on the search page. Copy the Maps features, too.
