Does anyone know what this program is written in. Just out of curiosity, it looks like it's something custom, does not use default widgets on OSX. It does not look like Java, I think it's all HTML5.
Just wondering.

“Drastically?” The vast majority of the web developers I know use OS X. And, I guess, most of the marketers, too.
In some circles yes, but theres alot of web developers that are still on Windows for whatever reason. I am from Germany and people here are less prone to brand marketing and i still see quite alot of people using Windows, even people i highly respect for their skills. Im mainly talking about coders though, not designers.
Reasons range from:
1) Big corporations don't like to overspend on PC hardware and can have great deals with anyone but Apple.
2) A company that work mostly on Windows platform (.Net, MSSql)
4) As weird as it sound some people might actually not like OSX.

#373I just started playing around with it. It has a very simple learning curve. Within 10 minutes, I was comfortable using the application.
I would love to see some figures on cross-browser compatibility. It's an excellent tool for making HTML5 animations. This is my only apprehension right now.

Entitlement? He is entitled to not download and view content that he doesn't want to. No one is obligated to alter their own behavior in order to sustain someone else's business model. How publishers make money is their problem to solve, and if they're publishing content on the open web that's viewable with web browsers, then it's up to them to decide how to deal with the fact that some web browsers aren't going to d…
No one is obligated to alter their own behaviour in order to sustain someone else's business model , that's why it's totally okay to shoplift if it's more agreeable and convenient to you.
No. Your obligation not to steal is not derived from any more fundamental obligation to sustain other people's business models.

Can you give an example? The only issue I've ever had with ABP et al. is when I'm working on a site and forget to turn it off & I think my site is broken (because ad doesn't load). :p
One of our webdevs complained about some issue that was causing issues with our site in particular (regarding generic id names being blocked) and since then I've had several anecdotal instances where disabling adblock on sites seems to clear up nagging issues. I should have been more clear. My apologies.
Well it happens if you name your javascript ad*.js or similar, also should be extremely easy to find.

It doesn't say anything about Linux, but I guess more than one platform is technically "cross platform" :(
Yep, and I hate it when they use "PC" as a synonym for Microsoft Windows. I do have a PC!
It's Apple that made PC synonymous with Windows machines (with all their "Mac vs PC" ads). Yes technically speaking it's incorrect, but that's human language for you, it just happens. Sometimes the other way round, eg. walkman was once Sony's tradename, but eventually all portable cassette players were called so.

such entitlement! do you have any idea how publishers make money on the web?
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.. I don't actually want to block all ads, just animated ads. Because they are annoying and drain battery life. I just want an HTML5 version of a Flash blocker.
It is impossible to read and understand text when there is something moving in the corner of your eye. The human brain was trained to do that for millions of years of evolution on the savannah. The moving thing might be a predator...

I would love to check out your product, but it only runs on OSX. You might consider a port to drastically expand your potential client base. Google's free offering is cross platform already.

That's what we call a filter bubble

> Blocking one form of advert is not even slightly the same as blocking all forms of adverts. Well good, then you just misunderstood me. I'm asking for an animated HTML5 ad blocker to parallel a Flash blocker (or pop-up blocker, etc.) Not something that blocks all ads. Although you didn't state it specifically, presumably you're ok with pop-up blockers. And therefore accept that it is ok for consumers to override the…
> Consumers have a vote on how the web should be designed, too. Exactly the wrong-headed sense of entitlement I'm talking about. No, you absolutely do not get a say, whatsoever. You either get the product through the monetization scheme set up by the content owner, or you get no content at all.
I used to put blank paper on ads when reading printed magazines because ads distract me. What am I supposed to with web sites? Literally cover the screen with paper?
Re: Google Web Designer
#380Is this "any platform" as long as it runs Chrome? Getting tired of more and more Google products apparently not being tested to work in Firefox.
Nope, I'm using Ubuntu and instead of download link see this message: "Available for Mac and PC"
