I'm not a fan of ad blockers. I understand people's "moral" justification for using them (decrease bandwidth demands, limit tracking, etc.) but ad blocking really hurts businesses and jeopardizes content we expect to consume for "free".
That said, this is one of the more creative ad blockers I've seen.
@rrhoover Thanks for your comment Ryan. Indeed, the idea was to promote in a creative way some cool artists and to cut with the traditional ad blocker simply deleting the ad.
@rrhoover I couldn't care less if Facebook or google lose out on a few bucks worth of ads. For supporting businesses that I care about, I actually try to purchase whatever they're selling to to substantially help their business. Note: If you can make your business model ad-block proof (i.e. not rely on ads but focus on acquiring revenue through means that also delivers more value to the readers), your business will be much better off in the long-run.
Hi guys, we created this chrome extension in order to replace Facebook ads by cool pieces of art. We feature a different artist or style every week. By clicking on the icon of the extension, you will be able to get some information about the featured artist.
We would love some feedback!
Great idea, but I am really looking forward for a Safari extension. I see more and more people switching to Safari, because of Chrome's RAM consumption. I find latest version of Safari really good.
@jimcanto Apart from discovering new great things, the next most important purpose of communities are to 'Improve', so it is not at all 'off-topic'. You may have no other option than Chrome in Windows, but Mac users have Safari, and it is getting better and better, and most people I know are switching to it, probably bcoz of chrome's HUGE ram usage.
Hence my suggestion for a Safari extension. :-)
