    Damn the internet sucks now days.

    You want to read a story 48 pop ups and stuff you have to address. Better have the volume off or some stupid
    ad will start talking. Do you want to allow this how about that? Look at a Dewalt drill and you get adds for 4 months
    on the home page...........
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    Use AdBlock Plus

    I've been using it for years and I don't even notice ads. When I use someone else's computer, I ask them "WTF is wrong with this thing... it's all ads!". I forget about all the crap that Adblock blocks for me.

    uBlock Origin is a great alternative to AdBlock Plus with more features and a lighter memory footprint when browsing:

    Either way, you'll never have to be bothered by pesky ads or pop-ups again.
    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
