I have AD blocker, its free and takes a couple minutes to download, it makes it to where not a SINGLE ad pops up on your screen..no matter the website.
I have adblocker, too, and they were showing up in mine. They were typically a 'part' of a word, such as 'freethinker' where the 'free' would be clickable. Not very noticeable.
Starting to see forums that won't let me in with an ad blocker turned on. Yahoo mail for one, and they're trying to charge for mail service seems like. But this forum really works well, an attentive moderator really makes a difference.
