Found a link on facebook that leads to anonHQ that explain that google, amazon, microsoft or maybe other big companies are paying huge amount of fees ($$$$) to get this chrome extension removed.
link to anonhq : http://anonhq.com/internet-titans-pay-dearly-pop-ads/
If this is true, DON'T DO IT!. I bet people would rather pay $5 monthly but no ads at all!
What do you all think about this? True? Or False?
Will this app start squeezing in some ads just for a few cash? or will they not.?

"Are you stupid? Nobody wants this!
The results of our user survey say something different..."
How many people DL and use ABP? Was it only 1584? Because that's all the people who responded (and I bet some of them work for the companies paying money for ads)! I can tell you it is at least 1585, because I did *NOT* reply to a time-wasting survey. If your product works I will download it and so will others. There's no need to change ANYTHING until people start complaining. Like we're doing now.
To whomever thought people who use a product like ABP will take the time to answer a survey: you're as dumb as the person who came up with the idea to take money to do the opposite of the right thing (we call them whores, and I personally wish hateful, terrible consequences on them as a result).
