Found this Ars Technica article on unlocking your browser to allow for ads to display properly when you visit your favorite websites. This might strike some as counter intuitive since most users are more interested in how to lock up their browsers to begin with.
The article talks about how ad- and javascript-blocking software are hurting web sites that need the stream revenue that comes from ads. It's written by someone who understands the security/privacy motivation to run these these applications so it is not preachy, but instead informs you how you can selectively filter content based on your level of trust.
As a user that has mostly applied an all-or-nothing approach to filtering I respect the writer's points on its effects, and was pleasantly surprised with the level of control available in some of these tools (specifically NoScript's ABE---Application Boundary Enforcer---a default plug-in in all my firefox installs). I also thought the discussion on behavioral tracking, and the techniques to handle it, was very informative.
