Worcester, MA | I wonder...
if there is an easy circumvention to remove the ADs. surely it can't be easy as blocking a couple of IP address... or could it? i suppose the IP addresses would reside somewhere in the ISPs block(s). |

Hingham, MA | I assume something like Adblock Plus would work fine for removing the ads, but the concern is that your data would still be tracked. |

You can just use AdBlock to block ads entirely, but that still doesn't address the concerns of consumers who don't want their individual browsing tracked and sold, even under the promise of anonymity. |

You will be tracked... wether its by an ISP or by the actual server you're connected to. The main difference is that your overall site tracking can be tracked by ISP, and sold, without your knowledge.

Not sure where the website addresses come from in the sig of yours, but a lot are parked and 'wacky' addresses. Just the kind (of sites)that host malware  I would hope that malware hosting sites wouldn't come up, but not gonna risk it along with extra cookie pollution just to piss off NebuAd. |
