I don't like the add links part of the Ad, it makes it look a bit ugly :/

I thought at first when I closed a tab it was just going slow or something, you know how sometimes you get a little bit of left-over stuff from the other screen.

Personally, I don't like it either. Messes up margins on some skins

I hope it doesn't come to our forums, because I know it'll mess up the margins of my skin.

I actually dont see it as it is in the photo. It looks worse for me because now it's "underneath" the current google ad making the page stretch a bit. Anyone else getting that?

Now I know why they updated their terms of service o_O thats a new google feature.

yeah mine is under the banner.


Although I rather have those links than the banner. But both is unreasonable.

The reason I think this is being done is to counter Firefox's ad-removal .... I'm not sure about these ones sine I'm not on my FF right now but by adding direct links I dont think Firefox can automatically remove them.

If having the links instead of the banners... that's ok with me. Having both banners and links those just looks bad.

I use Firefox V1.0.1, and the ony ads that ever get removed for me are the ones that appear in the pop-ups (aka. built-in pop-up blocker).

I dont see any ads on this board so if they are trying to out smart adblock it failed o_O

I also dont see much of a difference in that picture =\

You can still block them because they are in an iFrame ;)

I prefer one or the other, not both, and I like the text-ad banners better. :D
