The ethics of modern web ad-blocking – Marco.org – In other news, I just installed Ghostery. I think of it as psychic penance for working (in the past) on websites with a truly evil set of tracking/advertising scripts.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

You know he just released a content blocker plugin for iOS9, yeah? Uses Ghostery as it’s ruleset. http://www.marco.org/2015/09/16/peace-content-blocker
Yup – one of my colleagues tweeted about it, and that’s what sent me down the Ghostery rabbit hole.
