The problem: New feature from Mozilla (not enabled by default) disables Google Adsense Ads.

Mate, I'm really sorry to participate this discussion. I never had such bad experience. So many downvotes, make me feel really bad.

I see here most people are "users". I was expecting here to find people that actually work in tech, make their money from internet.

I can't understand how you do you see the world, without payment for your work.

It's very easy to talk about privacy rights, bandwidth issues, but the problem here is pure business.

The people who make content, don't receive payment, while people who consume content - consume it.

You must block whole page, if you do not agree with the terms.

But you want to read the content, without payment.

There are no free lunch, guys.

If this model is accepted by all browsers, please, explain to me who will pay salaries?

C'mon ppl, so many downvotes, please, explain to me, who will pay, IF all browsers remove ads?

I'm using Mozilla, since version phoenix 0.3... I'm fan of open-source.. I'm a freelancer.. My only revenue stream is my websites.

Forgive me I want to support my family.

p.s. I'm really disappointed from the community here. I'd expected more from you guys. Really sad.

I'm not downvoting you at all and I regret those that are.

What I'm trying to probe is the extent to which you expect international legal protection for your right to protect the totality of one of your Web sites including algorithmically defined advertising.

An example of your work might focus the discussion.

If your content is valuable, why not just pop it behind a pay-wall and charge $1 per month for access?
