We recently displayed this policy on advertsing which did say we would not show advertising in our products, and we certainly intend sticking the principle that if you do not want to see advertising then our products are not going to force it on you. 

With the coming release of the Foboz explorer toolbar though, we do see a niche where we as users of our own products would quite like to see a few adverts. In the same way as we display google advertising on this web page, adverts that look at the context of the page and show pertinent ads. When you do a Foboz toolbar search and see results in a web page, it can be a useful addition to see a few adverts.

As such we are making this a selectable option in Foboz. Users whether they are registered or not will continue to have the option as to whether they wish to see these adverts.
