NormanH Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Free brought in a some new software in its latest up date of the Freebox Revolution which automatically filters out a lot of advertising.Predictably Web advertisers have gone crying to "Mummy" Fleur Pellerin, ministre de l'Économie numériqueIt now looks as if things might be put on hold:http://www.lefigaro.fr/hightech/2013/01/05/01007-20130105ARTFIG00359-blocage-de-la-publicite-free-pourrait-temporiser.phpI am rather in two minds about this.On the one hand I have lots of ads blocked already and trackers too with Firefox add-ons such as Adblock Plus, Ghostery, and Better privacy and I would hate to experience web sites without them.On the other I think that this is for me to decide. I am not basically in favour of FAIs having the right to block or filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 B*mmer, looks like by the time I return it will have been withdrawn [:(]I could not help but laugh at the irony of having clicked on the link finding the page blocked by a huge unwanted advert!!
