What a load of ... manure.

I have to use my disk, my CPU cycles, my bandwidth to download the ads that pay you money.

That's how spammers think, my friend. And once a spammer, always a spammer. Down that road lies MADNESS.


I agree, manure, but I was just wondering right now, as a mostly-full-time, several-devices, FF user, if the Firefox Sync servers (with our bookmarks, passwords, tab history, etc) are also being NSAfied, or if there's any reason why they should be free from the bullying...


That was actually not what I was expecting, but does show their (admitted) lack of understanding of cookies and ads. If you block ad cookies, you just get a generic ad, it doesn't block the ad nor reduce the efficacy of the ad.
