As we happened to be talking about advertisements on OSNews yesterday, and the use of Adblock, I stumbled upon a blog entry by Adblock Plus' developer, who is trying to improve Adblock in such a way that it is less harmful to webmasters. His suggestion is surely intriguing, but will it fly wth Adblock users?

Seconded... er, fourthed.
I wouldn't block static image ads - if only because they're often a source of hilarity. Some ads contain great Freudian-slip typos ("ironic bracelet," instead of "ionic"), some are wonderful examples of Engrish ("Hey you dieting lady! How I lost 17% fat?"), and some are just plain WTF-inducing (the "USB humping dog" banner).
