The AdBlock company, which is developing the ad blocker for the Chrome browser of the same name, has begun to raise funds for its own advertising.
"We use advertising to get rid of advertising." 70% of Internet users still see banners - you need to help these people, explained on the page for crowdfunding. Everyone has the right to a clean web. For the first one and a half days, $ 11,069 has already been collected. If for the remaining 28 days you manage to collect $ 25,000, the Internet campaign will begin under the motto: “This is the last advertisement you see in life. Install AdBlock. ')
AdBlock (not to be confused with AdBlock Plus) is the most popular extension for the Chrome browser, it is installed on computers of more than 80 million people. However, this is not enough. Michael Gundlach, the author of the program, believes that 100% of users should have an ad blocker. To do this, ensure maximum audience reach.
If $ 50,000 is collected, AdBlock will buy an ad billboard in Times Square in New York.
If you manage to collect $ 150,000, then this is enough for a full-page ad in the New York Times. Finally, if you collect $ 4.2 million, you can show a commercial during the Super Bowl, which is traditionally the most expensive advertisement.
