I think it’s great that many Israeli and Jewish websites proudly display their shomer shabbat logos. (I say Israeli and Jewish, despite the fact that I’ve actually only seen it on commercial Israeli religious sites). Although I think it may be a bit of a silly chumra, I really don’t mind if people do it. I do have some questions about how ethical it is to try and profit by making other people afraid of silly chumras, but again, I try not to interfere in the free market, even if people sometimes do silly things. What I don’t like is when websites try to simply take their site down when it is shabbat for them. Seriously – do you not know that the Internet is a global phenomenon? Do you not know how timezones work? Has it eve occured to you that one of the millions of Jews outside of Israel might be interested in something you have to offer on a Friday afternoon? Grrrrr…..
