Now it is open that the Adblock Plus is selling the acceptable ads. It is a very disappointing news for existing Adblock Plus users and ad haters who look for a faster and ad-free browsing experience. Adblock Plus is now accepting few ads and allowing them as “acceptable” ads. This means they allow few ads instead of clean ad free browsing. When any Adblock Plus enabled a user to browse a web page, he/she can see the “acceptable” ads.
According to Ben Williams, operations head for Adblock Plus states that “Acceptable Ads is a process, not a destination. We’ve been tinkering with it, trying to get it just right – so that, in my own words that you’re probably totally sick of hearing, we make a “compromise between users and advertisers.”
But all the surveys we’ve conducted and the user feedback we’ve compiled is not enough to move Acceptable Ads forward significantly. There are two key elements that we’ve been working on recently, and we think these will help take it to that next level: opening the policy of Acceptable Ads and improving the process of getting whitelisted through the Acceptable Ads initiative.”
