Works a peach with just about everything.

And you can just flick it off with a button for a page you want to support or can't read unless it's turned off.

The main amazingness of the system is no YouTube ads. A few months back, my partner - who is not computer savvy - bought a new PC and I saw him sitting at his desk sitting through YouTube ads. It was like he was living in some horrifying internet dark ages. Fixed that one up real quick. He had no idea you could block it all.

We've been together how many years? It's like I didn't even know him.
