Add Blocks on SL-Site/SLX?!

[Hellespont Hoorenbeek]

Hey Linden Lab! Can somebody take away the highly anoying adds? What is wrong with you guys? :matte-motes-confused:

They probably won't do that - in fact, they're getting ready to allow regular SL vendors to purchase ads for their SL stores.

The placement of these ads is designed to be unobtrusive, as we don’t want them to interfere with your Second Life experience on the web, and we’re taking care to keep the content appropriate.

These ads are a great opportunity for advertisers to reach the large, global audience that visits the Second Life web properties every day, and we want to extend that opportunity to Second Life merchants as soon as we can

You might want to invest in an ad-blocker for your browser instead.

Adblock plus won't stop them from appearing in your viewer. For that, you need this:

I am using Adblock plus and all those ads on all SL website pages, including the Marketplace, are not visible to me.

Great post Han.  This is valuable for more than just blocking ads.

if people weren't such cheapskates and actually gave some money back for the time they spent in SL (yes you, all the "no payment info, no premium" people) LL'd make enough money they wouldn't need to resort to advertising.

They'd also be able to lower tier cost.
