I prefer avast ad block :D Don't quote me, but personally I hate ad(flash or .gif), if ad were simply .jpeg that are displayed in the left or the right side of website, then I have no problem with them.

We all bloody hate Ad ;), beside it doesn't matter what plug-in you choose Avast Ad Blocker or AdBlocker Plus you can only have one plug-in to run not both at the same time because it doesn't work ;)

They whitelist their sponsors which isn't right. Adblock plus has an option to opt out of "non-intrusive advertising", by not choosing this it blocks everything. That is the correct method, a blocker is a blocker, either it blocks everything or it's useless. Let me ask you, do you want a blocker that blocks 100% OR 80%?  I know which one I would choose.

I would have to agree.
I want an adblocker to block all ads.Not just some but all of them.

If i wanted to allow "some" ads then this is worse than having no adblocker at all.
Lets see just how long this "privdog" lasts.If its anything like privalert then it wont last long.

Thanks.

Well agree with you(I know that), I personally prefer Avast adblock because I can use it on IE which is beautiful, so I chose to give up ABP(for FF) because I want FF and IE to have "same" plugin.

In this case I would go with the 80% to protect the financing of the web. Blocking all ads indiscriminately is NOT the way to go if we want to keep our favorite sites free to access.

Actually no they are not wise words.
It seems he is trying to push his privately owned company(adtrustmedia.com) down the throats of every privdog user.

It sounds great to me and it works great in the Dragon browser. IE version to come but you really don't need an ad blocker in IE if you install a tracking protection list. The one from PrivacyChoice works very well and also has a version that whitelists some ads which is the way to go.

There's more that one way to watch a YouTube video:
This is the normal view:





This is what you get after you've installed Cleanr



You decide. :)
