  • Do you not use Adblock plus on Firefox? This (if set correctly, the defaults allow more ads in, I suspect they might even be being paid off with donations) cans a great amount of the ads.

    Mine is usually fanboy list, Easy List UK, Easy list Dutch and very little gets through.

    The permissible run time of an ad break on broadcast television or radio is set by a country’s Communications Ministry or Ministry of Arts and Culture, depending which one has responsibility for content (as opposed to technical issues such as frequency allocation). In the UK Ofcom is actually a combination of staff from both ministries. The UK’s max length was on the low side until the satellite broadcasters arrived and lobbied for it to be increased, and in many European countries even the national public broadcaster has ads as well as either charging a license fee or getting taxpayer money. they do have stronger rules such as no ads around childrens programmes and the companies advertised must be for social good. But these blocks can easily be 3 minutes, however they TX exactly at the top of the hour so its easy enough to avoid them if you have a DCF77 accurate clock or watch, you just turn the telly on 3 mins later ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Last time there was tropo I was listening to the national Radio 2 of Belgium in Flemish (Dutch) and there was an advert from a shop selling baby goods offering 20% off everything for any pregnant woman in Belgium (I remember reading that their birth rate was low/declining so they want to encourage people having babies).

    with some tweeking it will give you a powerfull tool that gives you more options on the format(a forced HTLM5…) and download of videos…

    by who? its no more morally wrong than using a remote control to switch channels on a television set or retuning a radio to another station during an ad break which folk have been doing for decades.

    that said a lot of the advertisers are trying to push folk to accept the same max timing of ad breaks as broadcast television in the country of origin, as they are preparing ahead for a greater convergence of broadcasting and online communication and fully expect the Communications Ministries of most countries to start regulating Internet broadcasters as well as the terrestrial ones. There is also the inescapable reality that the cost of delivering and producing content isn’t trivial and if advertisers stop paying for it or enough people do avoid the ads, that some content will simply stop being made (a real life case is the cessation of childrens and young peoples television production by ITV after Ofcom banned junk food ads and teenagers/youths moved away from normal TV to online viewing).

    Quite likely then a demand will emerge for ad free open soure browsers.

    Possibly with chocolate sprinklies on.
