Thank you for ad blocking

Looks like your editorial content is in the main left-hand column and the adverts are in the narrower right hand column when viewed on a laptop with a 1280px wide screen (linux/firefox).

I have a hosts file that blocks most of the ad servers but do not have any plugins within Firefox that disable js or block adverts. Your page looks complete - i.e. nothing showing 'unable to load' signs as one might expect. Privacy Badger shows 4 trackers (amber)...

cse.google.com www.google.com platform.twitter.com syndication.twitter.com

The adverts appear to be smallish static images with links back to office furniture companies &c.

I found the SpaceStor advert for their 'railway carriage' internal booth quite interesting so I clicked on it and was taken to a UK Web site - are you processing location information or did I just get lucky?

Interesting example to pass round.

They are UK-based. Glad you found the experience a decent one, the more I hear about ad-blocking, the more I feel encouraged to just make ads more simple and it seems to be paying off.
