We will continue to add more features and controls to your DNS preferences, as part of an OpenDNS account and networks. How you use this control is up to you. We don’t have a stance on it, per se.

Similar to the Ad Block firefox plugin, but leveraging DNS rather than a local application to block advertising. I understand this would ruffle feathers and is probably very controversial, but some people would prefer not to have to weed through advertisements. Of course, since your business relies on advertising, this could be seen as anti-competitive, but I think it leaves room for another recursive DNS provider to step in. People might be willing to pay for this type of service. What is your company’s stance on leveraging the Open DNS technology to block advertising?
