> especially obnoxious ads, of the kind adsense doesn't do.

That's your opinion, not everyone's. Luckily I'll easily be able to use what meets my definition of obnoxious with this feature (i.e. custom lists for this native blocker) instead of yours or this consortium's, right?

I'm interested to hear your definition of "especially obnoxious" ads that fits adsense. And no, "all ads" doesn't count.

Unless adsense has gotten worse since I last looked? I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the advertising space.

Says who? You? Google? A consortium of advertising companies?

Because it's meaningless to define "especially obnoxious X" to be the same thing as "all X". If you do that, you're not even trying to engage in a discussion, you're just trying to 'win'.

I thought it was clear that I was separating ads into multiple categories. If you tell me you honestly don't understand then I will reword it in other terms for you. Let me know what you need.
