Best Ad Blocker
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? -- "The modern definition of 'ingrained racist' is someone who's winning an argument with a couple liberals." (Thanks, Luddite!) |

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: http://download.cnet.com/Adblock-Plus-for-Mozilla-Firefox/3000-11745_4-10636539.html |

So what if I see an ad about Guitars or Epoxy if that's what I have been looking for on line lately... If an ad pops up, I just click the x... |

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. |
