Re: Open DNS and a good Hosts File....

But if enough people block the ads then your browsing habits are worthless. It isn't worth buying my browsing history if you cannot serve me ads based on that information.

If there were no value in the data the data would be unsold. It's easy really. Given the free options that exist to keep your ISP from thrusting this kind of intrusion on you there is really no excuse for this.

Again, if these companies could not make money by serving ads from the purchase of this data then they would not buy it. Simple.
