Adblocking

8/9/2019

This blog post from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) discusses the benefits of ad-blocking and challenges the narrative that ad-blocking is harmful to publishers and creators. The article highlights the intrusive nature of online ads and the negative impact they can have on user experience, privacy, and security. It also addresses common misconceptions about ad-blocking, such as the belief that it deprives publishers of revenue. The EFF argues that ad-blocking benefits both users and publishers by encouraging a healthier online ecosystem that respects individuals' choices and promotes alternatives to invasive advertising.
