Personally, I don't necessarily mind ads, unless intrusive.
I mind:
- tracking
- javascript being used everywhere (IMO, for pure viewing, javascript should be optional).
That's why I like Adblock Plus, even if many find their position to be highly controversial. i.e. to charge advertisers to be whitelisted as "acceptable ads" if they respect certain criteria.
When left unchecked, advertisers are to websites what kittens are to furniture.
You should review your position regarding Adblock Plus. There is nothing on Acceptable Ads that tries to cover if the ad publisher is tracking the user or not.
