| > adblock plus won't block I was wondering if this is true. It is! Take a look: Here's ABP's policy on "acceptable ads": https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads From there, you can find the "acceptable ads" whitelist: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.tx... And indeed, PageFair has a few domains listed. Fascinatingly, there's also a link to a forum thread where the whitelist was requested: https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20718 That thread links to a page that uses PageFair. After enabling a bunch of JavaScript domains (what, you're still not running NoScript?), an ad does indeed show up: http://forums.utopia-game.com/forumdisplay.php?1583-Suggesti... Rather hilariously, the ad is for a "Free Mp4 Player" and links to Ask.com or something. If this is PageFair's idea of the future of quality advertising, I don't think their company is long for this world. |
It's interesting, I imagine they'll be sucessful, and it will ultimately drive up hosts blocking again (I do this, hate no script, I like my website's shiny chrome).
