do wonders for me. I get far fewer ads on pages I visit because of them. In general, if an ad does not originate from the actual domain I'm visiting, it gets blocked.

ß | Open DNS and ad block does not stop packet inspection from your ISP. It's like saying I use firefox and don't see ads.
You don't see them but a lot of the value is not just in seeing the ads but selling your browsing habits. |

| 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. |

Mark It can, if you subscribe to one of the helper lists that specify that it helps block tracking sites. |
