Users want ad blockers. Omnigroup want people to use omniweb.  
Omnigroup want to give users what they want. omnigroup give users ad  
blockers. I see no problem here.

Off course omnigroup would be better off with a good extension  
architecture, leaving the moral dilemma to 3rd party extension  
developers, and still keep the users.

Opera do not include ad blockers, and I think they loose alot of  
users that way. However, now that they do not inline advertising in  
the browsers, I guess they are more likely to add that feature.
