>> "A webmaster should insert this tag into his pages if he thinks that the ads used on his site aren’t intrusive. "

Erm in what way is that fair? How about the default being that you assume websites won't do intrusive crappy advertising,

and only block ads on the minority websites that persistently abuse that trust.




That is the Web's default. It's users that make the conscious decision to over-ride the fault by installin AdBlock.

FWIW, I never block ads because I'm happy to have free content and pay an ad tax.
