> Adblock Plus finds the end-game of its business model: Selling ads
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/09/adblock-plus-starts-selling-ads-but-only-acceptable-ones/

> Eyeo GmbH, the company that makes the popular Adblock Plus software, will today start selling the very thing many of its users hate—advertisements. Today, the company is launching a self-service platform to sell "pre-whitelisted" ads that meet its "acceptable ads" criteria. The new system will let online publishers drag and drop advertisements that meet Eyeo's expectations for size and labeling.

> "The Acceptable Ads Platform helps publishers who want to show an alternative, nonintrusive ad experience to users with ad blockers by providing them with a tool that lets them implement Acceptable Ads themselves,” said Till Faida, co-founder of Adblock Plus.

Well, I left this sinking ship a while ago. Last time I tried it after using uB0 it felt like a resource hog. Now it's also an adware.

ABP is literally fixing all the problems the advertising industry created over the past 10 years.

uBlockOrigin is literally fixing all the problems the advertising industry created over the past 10 years.

>>56659723

If it helps direct the internet advetisising publishers towards static ad images then its not a bad thing imo

Still using uBlock origin though
>>
>>56659747

uBlock Origin is only increasing the arms race of adblocking and adblocking blocking

i don't trust adblock+ to be a gatekeeper

making money off of other peoples' work building blocklists is scummy at best, a protection racket at worst
>>
>>56659774
Doesn't sseem so. It seems more like uB0 puts the user in charge of what they want to see.

>>56659795
Yeah, they take a share of those earnings, obviously.
>>
i mean, 'blocking all ads and replacing them with those [your company] have been paid for' could fit a loose definition of malware
>>
>>56659723
Well if advertisers could stay with static non flashing images and not break videos with a minute or commercials before the actual video starts then i guess ads would not be so annoying.

Its like tv, try watching anything in the evening, every 7-10 minutes there's a 7-12 minutes commercial brake. i only watch netflix and public adfree tv or play channels now.
>>
>>56659723
a better solution is take the URLs that adblock blocks and just block them using the hosts file

like this

ublock origin is better and it blocks not only ads but protects your privacy by blocking tracking requests as well

Still the most popular and you know old habits die hard.
>>
>>56659774
Exactly.

The goal here is not to compromise with the advertisers that have spend literally decades infecting us with malware, invading our privacy, and annoying us with everything they possibly can.

The goal here is to drive these people into bankruptcy.

>b-but muh free content
the web is infested with shitty clickbait because so many sites view the content as just some shit they have to have to attract pageviews and ad revenue. Torpedoing advertising as a viable business model kills off a lot of content, but that content is the shitty stuff.

can someone explain to me then what is AdBlock to AdBlock Plus?
I remember using the former back in the old days on Firefox, then switched to the botnet and used ABP due to unavailability of the first one... or maybe I'm confusing something.

is AB and ABP the same?

Yes, It doesn't block ads, only hides them. You might also want to consider pic related.

Its either just a troll or someone who thinks uBlock should remain niche and under the radar so that advertising publishers dont start to target it

nice edited videos shill
according to archive you've been posting them since gorshill's scheme was found out

Begun, the ad war has.

We've entered an age where advertisers are going to be actively blocking other advertiser's adverts.

My fear is if the advertising model as described by ABP is not implemented or is found unviable by any part, then websites will either continue nuking exponentially more ads trying to bypass adblockers OR will start to implement paywalls if they feel thats the only way to sustain their websites

Websites are going to get desperate to rape you online to survive. Take 4chan itself, it frequently used to get shutdown when donations ran low. Then moot implemented somewhat of an acceptable model for online ads here. But I am guessing the most sstable form of revenue 4chan has received is probably by providing user data to companies like google even with tools like recaptcha/ no captcha, however it has done so over the gross cost at user privacy and using them as free labor

That is what the mainstream internet could become if an acceptable & viable ad revenue model is not implemented

No source. Pajeet is at it again.

>>56659723
Then go with UBO you dingus!
>>
>>56660408
Do you know where I can find complete lists of such sites I don't want to share my private information?
Is it possible to block everything from Google except the search engine itself?
>>
>>56663939
You can try MVPS hosts file.

>>56663508
But I do use uB0 for more than half a year I think.
