In a statement, Interactive Advertising Bureau executive Dennis Buchheim said that even as browsers makers feel pressured to deliver privacy-centric features, they should consider the importance of advertising in enabling free services.


On the contrary, what the advertiscumbags need to realize is that their actions have consequences. When several years back after agreeing to a voluntary do-not-track flag as an alternative to it being made mandatory, subsequently they collectively decided to ignore it they declared open war. That the rest of us are ramping up our defenses as a result. Personally, that move marked when I switched from a purely self-made blocklist consisting of whatever advertisers crap broke usability/user experience of the years to using 3rd party block feeds to preemptively kill as many of their payloads as possible.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
