AdBlock.org

Norton Internet Security 2004 has ad blocking turned on by default. One of the ways that NIS attempts to block ads is that they block link tags that contain text that matches any entry in a long list of targeted text and words. See the sites that NIS blocks…and doesn’t block.

In the past several months, ad blocking software has become very prevalent. Under the premise of “user choice”, software that now comes installed by default on many computers, actually modifies the content of web pages based on some very rudimentary and aggressive rules.
