Clean Ads IO: Catching Up With Ad Blockers And The Blockers That Block Them

The dander was up at AdExchanger's Clean Ads IO in New York on Tuesday as the CEOs of two ad blockers engaged in a contentious debate with two prominent adversaries about the rock-and-hard-place situation publishers presently find themselves in. “It might be ironic that an ad blocker can really play a very important role in...

71% Of Ad-Block Users Would Consider Whitelisting Sites That Don’t Suck

Just because people block ads doesn’t mean they hate advertising – it means they hate bad advertising. Slow-loading, third-party tracking, battery-draining, bandwidth-bleeding, pop-upping, visually questionable and sometimes creepily relevant (but, more often than not, utterly irrelevant) advertising. But a straw poll conducted by Dean Murphy, the developer behind the iOS ad-blocker app Crystal, found that 71% of... Continue reading »

Ad Blocker With A Heart Of Gold? Developer Yanks Top-Ranked 'Peace' From App Store

Citing a guilty conscience, the developer behind the ad blocking app that shot to the top of the iOS 9 charts has pulled his creation off the App Store shelves. Marco Arment, who cofounded Tumblr and created Instapaper before dabbling in ad blocking, said he ultimately couldn't endorse an app that blocked ads en masse. Arment's... Continue reading »
