City AM Bans Ad Blocking On Desktop
- Campaign, Wednesday, December 16, 2015 6:27 AM
The company admitted that only 21% of Firefox users turned off ad-blocking software after they were prevented from viewing City AM content during a recent trial. However, chief executive Jens Thorpe said the trial had proved "very important" as the business news publisher is "funded by advertising revenues." Now users of other browsers such as Chrome and Safari will also face restrictions on viewing City AM's online content unless they turned off their ad blocker or "white-list" the site.
