Is anyone else getting a Google Ad in the left sidebar? I'm running Firefox with AdBlock and I am wondering why am I getting it.
he's using obfuscated URLs from his site to dynamically add the google banners. ABP apparently doesn't catch that.
this is just wrong. there is no other way of putting ig.
there are the URLs that ABP shows:

What a load of crap. I don't really like ads, I don't want to see ads, and I never click ads, but there's no law that says "you must make it easy for firefox addon developers to block parts of your website".
Get a grip.
But AFAIK AdSense program policy does not allow cloaking. I guess that includes URL obfuscation.
A bit cheeky I guess. First screw around with ABP, then write a apologetic blog post about it, get it on HN and Reddit and use the same technique to display the Ads. Wonder how many ad impressions he got out of it. The only problem, I dont think anyone uses ABP is going to click the ads even if you manage to show it to them!
