Suggestion: Adblock Feature that could keep advertisers happy

Hello Adblock team.

I'm an advertiser and i'm not a adblock hater, actually i find it very useful but the way it works could be improved.

The adblock should be only used for the websites we want and not for every single website on the web because there are useful ads and some of them are very entertaining. Of course we need a Black List that should be on by default ( Adblock saved me a couple of times from those terrible websites full of spam ).

Anyway that's just my suggestion, AdBlock should only be used on some Black List and the websites we want. This change could balance the advertiser hate on this tool.

Keep up the good work!

    Hi Web,

    That's a good idea and actually, you can already do that in AdBlock!

    To "white-list" a page or an entire site, click the AdBlock button and select Don't run on this page or Don't run on pages on this domain.

    To fine-tune which sites AdBlock runs on (or doesn't run on):
    1. Click the AdBlock button and select Options.
    2. On the "CUSTOMIZE" tab, under "Stop blocking ads" select Show ads on a webpage or domain or Show ads everywhere except for these domains... and follow the instructions.

    Hope this helps!
