With Flattr Plus, annoying and obtrusive ads will be removed from webpages just like with Adblock Plus. Users will also get to choose a monthly payment amount they want to spread across the websites they visit

The payment system is similar to how Flattr works, except instead of a digital tip jar appearing on websites, Flattr Plus doesn't let you choose which websites get your money. Flattr Plus keeps track of the websites you visit and engage with, allocating your monthly payment across those websites proportionally.

For websites to get that money, Adblock Plus' Ben Williams wrote in an announcement that it just takes them five minutes to sign up.

"There are no tags or logos placed on your website — you just start getting free money," Williams wrote in the announcement.

You’ve created a proxy. There are plenty of open source solutions that do the same thing. Look up Squid for a great open source proxy that does web filtering on the fly for your whole network.

I have them both installed. That was the recommendation of folks here on FR. It looks like that might not be a good idea after all.

uBlock instead of Ad-block Plus? Actually I use Adblock Latitude since I use Palemoon and not Firefox, but it does the same thing.
