> Do you think that Microsoft could ship IE9 with an ad blocker installed and enabled by default?

Reader is not an adblocker anymore than Readability or Instapaper are.

You guys are completely insane and blowing this out of proportion. Reader is a manually triggered page reformatter, essentially Readability built in, you have to already be on the page and you have to have seen the ads before Reader is even available.

The ars article is one of the few that got me to headdesk in years, it's unbelievably stupid.
