I've read lots of reviews of various ad blockers, many of which are
horrible.

Anyone using one that does the job well? And on which browser is it
being used?



Ad Blocker Plus.
Using it with Firefox but have also used it with Chrome and Safari.
Currently using it on Win Vista and Win 7 computers. Used it on iMac also.

It's configurable but you need to learn and understand how streaming
video works from some sources in order to set it up correctly otherwise
you'll be back complaining that it doesn't work for you or you can't
see any videos.

I don't see ads or videos on websites unless I allow them. No ads on
Facebook or on Harry's Photobucket posts.

excellent reviews:

Yep. It works so far with W7, IE11.
I do a lot Youtube watching, and Stream watching on Twitch, and usually
just mute the ads while doing something else.
This eliminates those video ads, which is nice.
Thanks for the reco.



Yeah, I think I've watched every crosswind landing and cars sliding on
icy roads that YouTube has on the Internet. I watch them at the same
time I watch Rachael Maddow.

Is that the Double Disaster Channel ?

You sound bored.

Do you ever go to http://www.marinetraffic.com ?

It can be interesting watching the boat traffic along your coast. You
could also put up a marine VHF antenna, get one of these
http://www.amazon.com/Icom-MXA5000-Marine-Class-Receiver/dp/B001QWZQS2,
and become a gateway reporting station. You would also need a RS-232
to USB cable and some free software.
