It did have a moving ad on the page, although I wouldn't go so far as to say it was annoying. It's an interesting concept. There are definitely too many flashing, popping, floating, wiggling adverts and something should be done, but you have to get a balance between that and letting sites pay for themselves so they can keep going. As far as I can see anyone can put this button up. It might work better if there was some kind of seal of approval implied, that way it might mean something.

We do plan to keep an eye on sites that post the graphic, but it's a pledge, not a certification. If they don't follow it, it's simply like breaking a promise. I'm sure that site believes that graphic isn't annoying (I looked and personally don't see it as something designed to get me to click on it). Blanche, thanks for the comment.

Of course, the user decides what he/she wants to see. One reason for not willing to see ads is a slow internet connection, such as modem, gprs, or even gsm-data. If there was a functionality in the browser that asks the webserver nicely not to send ads, and the page was certified "annoy-free" with "don't block my ads"- logo, i would not block the ads when using an internet connection faster than a modem. Novadays, the web advertising fights against itself. Any guesses, how long will it take before the web gets even worse than email with it's spams and viruses? neosis An idea, You could send at least to Mozilla’s adblock developer(s), this logo could be identified by adblock, dynamic switching of ads on/off.

On the comment of the capability to enable/disable adblock dynamically using web/html/etc, code, it sounds nice, however it can be exploited if it becomes common knowledge, or exploited period. Interesting pledge.

I think some serious rebranding (starting, of course, with the advertisements themselves) will be necessary in order to convince casual surfers that advertisements are okay. Consider the success of Google's text-only ads. Simple is beautiful, and a logo that uses non-complementary colors, multiple font styles, and exclamation points, all squashed into a tiny oblong, does not exactly embody this ideal. Ha! A green "No" circle! How counterintuitive. Ha! Imagine the logo of the adblockers, with their bold red "No" striking down a popup. Now consider the irony of your big green "No" enclosing this logo. "No No" You guys crack me up. Interesting, that the logo designed to convince users a website will not serve annoying content is a bit ugly.

I do however set adblock to hode the ads rather than not download them, so the advertisers think they have had the exposure, everybody wins.
