We’ve always tried to put user experience first, even when that gets in the way of making more money. Browsers have changed, we’ve become a security company, and we’ve shifted our business to rely on paying security customers, so we’re turning off the ads in our free DNS service to make that service even better.

What the blog post summarizes:
-Guide was introduced to make money
- Guide was introduced before omniboxes existed
- In 2011, Chrome and Firefox has Omniboxes and OpenDNS Guide screwed them up by redirecting searches to OpenDNS Guide
- Employees decided that Guide was obstructive
- OpenDNS Guide was voted to be removed on June 6th
Do you think that it was a good idea?
