I'm OK with advertising, but not with tracking. The problem for me is that most advertising is served from a host other than that of the publisher, so tracking can be done by the ad server.
That is, say HN were to publish AdSense. HN's webmaster would add a small snippet of Javascript, that fetches the ad itself from Google's server. That would enable Google to track me.
I am, for the most part, completely cool with ads that are served from the same IP address as the web page I'm looking at.
