Firefox and Chrome users - do you use Ad-blocking software? And more importantly, do you see it as ethical?

I use Chrome and don't use extra software to block ads because after enough years of this, it's not worth the expense. I know how to ignore ads. I do find their assertion that it's "unethical" to be amusing considering recent revelations of tracking cookies uploaded without consent, to locations in the computer not monitored, and which replace themselves if they are found and deleted.

This is the Internet; we don't have ethics here; it's every one for the self (and God against all.) danielpauldavis 52 months ago.

I don't use an ad blocker. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's unethical to use one, but I personally accept the implicit bargain that an ad-supported site makes. I don't mind that other people don't.

However, I do keep Javascript and plugins turned off by default, and prevent animated images from animating. That's my bargain: you're entitled to some real estate, but you're not entitled to make it impossible for me to read the content I came for. That means that I rarely notice the ads.

On rare occasions, an ad is relevant, and I will sometimes click on them. If distracting ads are the only way for this bargain to work, then the bargain doesn't work and we need to go back to the drawing board. PamPerdue 55 months ago.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
