6. Cool Beans! Now you can look forward to paying for the web
Once people kill all the advertising.
I don't love it all but as a web guy I know that advertising is all that keeps some sites alive. My niece works for a huge ecommerce site that really makes more off the ads than sales.
Think what TV would be like if all the ads were "killed" in the early days.
I personally block pop-ups but this is different. This is blocking and altering the content a site owner built into his page. You are changing a copyrighted design when you stop the flash banner from showing in the manner intended. I bet you wouldn't cut all the pics and ads out of your Sunday newspaper in order to make it lighter and quicker to read.
Funny too. On the Firefox homepage they offer an Ad button to put on web pages to bring people to the Mozilla site.
