   What do you think of Mozilla buying the Anonym Ad company?

   Personally I prefer contextual ads instead of profile based ads. Basically tech ads on tech sites and fashion ads on fashion sites.

   I know some of you hate all ads. Had the survey.

     @jon I feel like that contextual ads might be a good compromise if we need ads at all. At least then there is no need to build a very uncomfortable profile of each person behind the scenes. But I think that we are past the point of no return on that one - the desire to create hyper-target profiles to nudge people with precision to buy something is simply too tempting. Thing is, I have always wondered if those ads actually work....
