Description Xan Lopez 2012-10-08 16:08:03 UTC 
It's been suggested that "Allow advertisements" gives the impression that we can really control whether they are shown or not in 100% of the cases. This is really not the case, adblock is an heuristic filter. So I propose we change it to something like:

"Try to block advertisements"

or similar. Opinions?

To me 'Filter advertisements' includes a possibility of failure in it.

"Try to block advertisements"
