by tallship, 8 years agoBack when ad blockers first became available, there was one, then two, predominant products, but then one day I noticed that during an update I received a notice about "acceptable ads"....
What? Why am I using an ad blocker that says there are acceptable ads? And why do I have to go an extra step to disable those so-called acceptable ads? The reason I use an ad-blocker is to block advertising - I didn't ask for it, it is unwanted, and ads are therefore SPAM!
Well, One day I discovered Ad Blocker Ultimate, whose mission is it to block all possible advertising SPAM. And it does a great job! And they even ask the same question as to how an ad could be acceptable, and then they go on to answer that by explaining that other ad-blockers are for the most part sponsored by advertising networks - hm.....
One would surmise, right?
The only thing that has prevented me from contributing some measure of financial support is that I'm a bit uncomfortable with the anonymity of the developers.
But it does work better than any other addon for this purpose, is cross-platform compatible across all browsers that anyone uses anyway, and the code is open sourced as well as hosted at github.
Still, I'm going to give it five stars even though I have no idea who the developers are - and that does raise some questions.
