replace ads with art?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6846
replaces internet ads with artwork. it's an interesting debate, this issue of advertising online. Some argue that if we want free access, we have to accept that the bills need to be paid somehow. Others oppose the increasing commercialisation of online spaces and data capture that goes along with it.
Either way, this is a very clever idea that at the very least, asks us to think about our views on the subject. Or just enjoy some art.
