Its not your PC anymore, you just rent to use a small portion of it.
The traffic that runs behind every internet connection is mind blowing.
But you can beat it all.

I think Amazon & Google are battling for world domination, and they're using advertising to beat us into submission. I run Firefox and AdBlocker+ on my PC, but the ad-bastards run ads on most sites' sidebars like crazy. No Moparts on my Smartphone; I gotta cut you guys SOME slack...

i run firefox. with adblock plus and ublock origin.
the only ads i have ever seen in the last 2 years are the 3 at the top of the page. my desktop is the only computer i use to surf the web and basically the only computer i own.
i do occasionally hit a link to a article i want to read. i get a popup on that site that says i use a popup blocker and must turn it off to read the article. i just go back and not read the article.

I use adblocker plus on my iPad, and have not seen one single ad since. Now logging in on a regular basis is new.

^^^^^^^^^ This is great info.Cleared up the adds.Thanks I've been using Ad Block Plus for years(on Chrome) I have no idea how some of these guys surf the web without it. Ads are annoying on almost all web pages not just here. My buddy showed me a Youtube clip the other day, ad in the beginning and one in the middle. I said [censored] is that....I had no idea because I never see them. If I go to a site that asks me to turn off my Ad Block, I just leave. The last time I had a computer virus(a number of years back) it was linked(by the IT folks at my job)to an ad on this very site. They are the ones to recommend switching to Chrome(w/Adblock Plus) and avoid IE. Zero issues since then.

IE? It's running somewhere in the background, but I never open it.... at least not on purpose.
