Not that I want them back, but I cannot help wondering.

(maybe I am the only one not blocking them and nobody else has noticed, but I have not seen any ads today. I didn’t login yesterday and they were there the day before)

That’s interesting. I’ll pass this on upstairs.

I just logged out and saw plenty plenty ads.

You still not seeing them?

Nope. No ads today either. Surfing on a PS3, though, now that I think of it. Maybe you want reports from people on actual PCs.

The PS3 filters ads? Wow, nice news!

The PS3 browser barely works. Filtering ads would strike me more as a bug than a feature. Still, I see plenty of google ads on other sites.
