I think people are being overly reactive to something that hasn't even happened yet. Some people are going way OTT about this on some websites and seem to be getting a bit aggressive.
In my opinion it's best to wait and see just how this is implemented. If it can be switched off (I.e. Block all ads as it does now) then there's no real issue.”
Reading more in to it, it does appear that they'll be following the same model as Adblock plus by allowing "acceptable" ads from companies who have paid and it will be implemented as a switchable feature so you either allow all of the acceptable ads or none of them.
Personally, I'd prefer to have much more control over sites I want to whitelist so that's part of the reason I switched. The other part is that I saw that Purify is just a better solution full stop. It's quicker, has one touch whitelisting and can block images, scripts and fonts as well as everything else. 79p well spent.
