AdBlock and Google

Hi,
I would like to raise a discussian about AdBlock and how fair is it against site owners/Google in your opinion?
Google have supported Mozilla group with millions of dollars and they are recommending to use AdBlock, which blocks google ads (from where the money came, so that they could develop firefox).
What is your opinion? I find it a bit unfair and hypocritic, most of the Google services are free of charge anyway.
Please share your opinion about the topic.

And I am not a bitter AdSense user, Im not making money with it anyway and my browser preference is Opera, so I am not an AdBlock user either.

 

I believe it's up the the person that has it on the computer I myself can't stand some site as soon as it opens theres a pop up and slows down the loading

 

Sites with too many ads and not enough content should be able to be blocked, but there is no real good way to detect that. I can understand people wanting to block those sites, but by allowing the blocking of all ads, it will be a serious hit on webmasters that rely on their contextual ad revenue.

 

great way to seperate good sites from trash sites and why worry ... not everybody is a firefox user

 

i use this adblock extension to preview my blog after update, so that i don't request the google server from my own machine for the ads...

 

in our research, people who use adblock aren't likely to click ads---

 

Thats what i was thinking also, the only people who click them are too new to know better.
