Re: Washington Post article on Rick752 and EasyList I agree GK.
I'm waiting for the slew of counterpoints that always come from an ABP news story. This will be the advertising sites telling us how we are ruining the internet ... when it's the advertisers that are ruining the internet for us. "Everyone deserves to make money on the internet" ... oh yeah? Says who?
So much for the "free" sharing of info and ideas!

We've had people come here to DSLR (Security forum maybe?) when this topic came up, complaining how they should be allowed to advertise on their websites at will, how they have to make a living too, blah blah blah. Boy, did they get an earful, lol.....

I don't know what happened to ad free, I guess we got suckered again.

What I like is every time there is an article on Adblock Plus and your filters it only increases the number of users that install it.

ABP is probably showing a substantial spike today. Got to be serving a million EasyLists (just a guess). I hope Wladimir will give some numbers for today's hits soon.
Any press is good press for ABP.
