I hate how they try to fit their entire website in one page, to be truthfull with all, I would rather load a new page than spend 10 minutes scrolling down (even with auto-scroll).Dugg for truthness!
sert --- This is an excellent filter - Filterset.GTotally awesome. Thanks for this. I'd been looking for ways to block those annoying ads without having to add frames or special keywords to Adblock each time and this has done it. Totally Rocks. One question about Adblock in general - Does it work in a way that it is suppressed without making a call to the website ( meaning suppressed locally with edited html ) or does the website register/think that I loaded the ad ?
Well I don't care really since due to its simplicity I can see and read all the newest articles on endgadget. I never scroll down though... And with a hefty connection it's alright.... For dial-uppers thats pretty sad though.
1) The layout of engadget is such that the ads have never bothered me. It's easy to read the stories and ignore the ads on the side and the bottom2) How do you expect the writers of engadget to make money without posting ads on their site? Especially given all the coverage they've done of conferences like CES, E3, Apple releases, etc. They're doing a good job.. they're not myspace or something.
I bet all of you will love your adblockers once you have to pay to read all your favorite websites. Hosting is not free, neither is the massive amount of work that is put into sites like Engadget.If you didn't block ads but actually clicked an ad now and then to support the websites, there wouldn't be any need for webmasters to fill their sites with ads to compensate.

And the best part about the whole site... it violates the Google Adsense TOS!!

And if you did that graphic of the front page instead of a clickthrough article, it would be almost all content.

I didn't even notice them. It's amazing how much your brain can filter out advertisment noise.

Hello, RSS. Though Engadget fell out of my blogroll a long time ago...
