uBlock + Ghostery + someonewhocares.org hosts file = No ads. No malware.
Bliss.

Yes. I have zero sympathy for the advertisers though.

If they think shoving intrusive jumping, blinking, auto-playing video at
top volume, pop-up, pop-under, screen-greying-out, malware-foisting,
Flash-laden, bandwidth-slurping, misleading crap in my face is going to
make me more likely to buy their ****e, they're badly mistaken.

They're solely responsible for the situation they find themselves in
now. Boo hoo.

Yes, I also use Ghostery. Don't know about someonewhocares.


Same here. Should I care, what do they block?

Just about every ad-flinger, tracker and malware site out there, plus
some. Frequently updated.

You're usually good at using "OT" but not this time. :-)

The subject line was pretty helpful, and I suspect that most of us use
the web a lot, so not *really* off topic.

Much as it might damage my street cred to agree with harry about something.

I think 'OT' is his newsreaders default setting these days. ;-(

Shirley there must be a better forum for much of his political 'stuff'
than one aimed at d-i-y or maybe he pollutes others as well?

I preferred the old days when OT's were few and far between and even
then, they generally were on things people were trying to do
themselves?

Ooops, my bad, harry is trying to convince (tell) everyone to vote out
(pretty well), all by himself.

As a countermeasure to harry, anyone who has asked me for my opinion
on the in / out thing I've recommended 'in' (even though I have no
feeling either way). ;-)

Harry doesn't even know what side he is on. He is all for brexit, but
the quickest way his solar panels will become junk is if we leave the EU.

I suspect he is really for 'remain' and has been told to act like a
racist islamophobe to make brexiteers look bad.

Just another utterly silly conspiracy theory.

Harry is clearly a rabid bigot and that's why he wants out of the EU
and he's too stupid to even realise what might happen to his panels.

When I filter out the OT threads it removes large chunks of this
group, so I guess there must be a lot of off-topic stuff here.

There certainly is atm and much of it EU stuff.

Hopefully that will stop soon, for a couple of years at least. ;-)
