Starting immediately, Oriel's ad protection technology will only support publishers and advertising which conform to the Better Ads Standards to be protected through its platform.
Protection of unacceptable user experience ad formats such as those outlined by the Coalition will not be supported by Oriel.
"Implementation of Better Ads Standards is exactly what is needed by the industry in order to clean up the horrible user experience served by much of the advertising we see online today".
"as well as benefiting users, publishers now have comprehensive research giving them the confidence and right to protect compliant advertising from blunt ad-blocking software in exchange for maintaining free access to all users" commented Aidan Joyce, Oriel's CEO.
The findings from 25,000 users on 104 ad formats clearly identify the need to immediately retire 4 desktop and 8 mobile ad formats if publishers, advertisers and ad tech companies are to stem the continued growth of ad-blocking.
