Re: Ads on the site

ok i know ad revenue helps the site. but I am a paid member and they get more from my membership than the 0.002 cent ad revenue would ever generate.

if you are using firefox browser (you should) or even chrome (very insecure browser) you can use an add-in called ad block pro (ABP) and i also add in U Block Origin and Facebook Container.

you tube ads got you down? you will never see another with this setup. pop up/pop under/redirects? never ever again.


I DID recently have a problem where the page would load blank and there would be a text box at the bottom trying to load a rover.ebay ad, it would boot me and say the page was unavailable for a few min. but ever since sunday never has happened again.


more firefox tips: set it to clear cache and history when you exit. yes you have to log in every visit, but I just browse till i have something to add anyway. doing this keeps cross tracking cookies from building your profile and targeting you with ads. and Facebook Container keeps facebook in its own closed "room", with no windows. I have started using container tabs for banking and amazon too.

happy browsing!
