Adblock is working again!

[Archae]

I tried Adblock again, after switching from Microsoft "edge" back to Internet Explorer.

And it's working!

The ads are gone!

I just hope it continues, I was so sick of the ads, especially the ones for right-wing activists and websites.

1. Does the site load faster without all the ad cr*p?

I don't really care about the ads themselves. With rare exceptions I completely ignore them without even trying.

But the site loads rather slowly lately and I wonder the ad graphics and blinky things are part of that.

2. Yes it does.

It was the &%$#@!!! auto-start video ads that were the biggest pain in the ass.

5. You can always pay a small amount for now ads.

3. I recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

IE and Edge are crap.

The ads are gone !!!

My speed is up !!!

Thank you.

14. My pleasure.

The Internet is just swamped with ads.

For some of the most vile things, I saw one ad for that web site that lets spouses cheat on their SO's, "discreetly."

15. Thanks again.

Adblock makes a world of difference on YouTube and all

other sites.

10. Yup, contribute what you can.

It's great!

[pinboy3niner]

11. And very well worth it, too

I get from DU far more than I contribute. I'm going to have to up my donation.

12. I agree, but DU isn't the only website I visit.

[pinboy3niner]

16. Sure, but contributing to DU is definitely worth it

I'm happy to chip in to support this site.

17. You might like FlashBlock, too!

It keeps videos from popping up and playing on their own. If you would like to be able to choose what to watch - for example a news clip that you'd rather read than have some talking head read it to you - get Flash Block.

18. So, do I have to download windows10 to get Microsoft edge?

I got until 2016 to download it, but I'm waiting for all the bugs to be eliminated. (at least most of them).
