Enter, DoGood.

Now you can block those annoying ads without preventing them from reaping the financial benefits.  The DoGooder plugin replaces those ads with environmental, philanthropic and health and wellness related ideas.  They also donate half of their profits to charity and non-profit organizations.

As if that’s not enough, they’ve also been nominated for a SXSW Web award for Technical Achievement (up against another favorite of mine, SeatGeek!). 

Go rid yourself of those terrible ads, post haste.  (Unless you’re running linux, or browsing with opera or chrome – then you’ll just have to wait.)
