Windows 8 Ad Blocking, I'm giving it a try!

[MikeHawthorne]

Hi

In another post I advised against installing Adblock because of some negative messages I found on some other forums, along with people asking how to get rid of it, and treating it like malware.

But I also found people who liked it.

So I reconsidered, I installed it and uninstalled it and found no problems in getting rid of it.

Then I installed it again, and I also installed a app called Keep My Opt Outs that is supposed to stop tracking cookies which I delete by the hundreds every few days.

I'm going to be the trial horse and see if these programs cause any problems and if they work.

I'll report back after I spend some time with them and let you know how I feel about them in a week or so.

I'm sure that like me there are a lot of people who get tired of having a window pop up right in the middle of what every they are doing.

I can report that right now there are no ads showing on my Chrome page.
We'll see what happens.

Mike

For me the best thing about Adblock is the fact that it get rid of the adds.

I really don't care about the advertising on web pages, as long as it isn't in Popup Windows I'm fine with it, but I don't like to have to sit through the ads to watch every video I open.
