Aaah, but with a subtle difference :)

I don't see anything wrong with blocking *any* advertising in my browser, since, as I said, I won't be giving up control of my box anytime soon. So, I don't see anything wrong with blocking any advertising at all. I may tolerate google ads (just like quite a few people), but if someone is annoyed by them they have every right to redirect the google ad hosts to 127.0.0.1.

And if google ads start to increase there's a good chance we'll start to block them too. The defining value for me is not that the websites "deserve" me to look at their ads, but rather that the user alone is who decides what can be shown in his browser.

And in 4 hours I'm off to beautiful Spain, where internet ads and all won't matter because I won't be touching a computer in at least 2 weeks ^_^
