Paying for bandwidth is something that web site owners and web users both do. So people who try to force large graphical advertising images into my web browsing experience are stealing my bandwidth and my money. Adblock Plus can be seen as a security tool too, blocking "drive-by" push installs of malware via banner ads. Cheers, Phil -- Phil Randal Network Engineer Herefordshire Council Hereford, UK

It's a fine way of thinking in circles firfox->add block extention ->don't generate revenue -> block all firefox users\ \--------------------------------------------------| This dimwit claims it isn't a problem because these "firefox" users are geeky opensource people that don't buy much online anyway. Hence why bother to block them? He just has some problems with the add block developers who don't want to facilitate him in bypassing the software. Which is (i'll share a secret) is possible. he's this duchebag who thinks he's all the rage. Fine. Whatever he can have his site there is even an whyisfirefoxblocked.com block 20% of all Europeans is bound to be great for business. All the other browsers opera, IE have these features too. the firefox plugin has regular expressions, O no firefox is just to evil. It's not even worth mentioning and firefox users can also install the User Agent plugin to bypass the script that he has put up on his rediculous page. When this hit digg, all his webpages were down for days I bet he's still paying for the bandwith _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
