Ad remover
I used Ad Remover for a week (they offer a free "trial") and it seemed to remove a lot of ads.
The online newspaper was much easier to read. It seemed to work well and leave all my passwords intact. I'd like to now buy the yearly subscription which costs $40.00. However I don't know what it is doing to the "brains" of my computer behind the scenes. Anyone have any experience with Ad Remover? |
Try the Adguard Content Blocker app. It's free.

Bare, I have been using Adblock Plus (ABP) for years with all my browsers. I love it and it's free, too.

Sorry John, I should have specified that I've been using Google Chrome since I switched from Rogers to Gmail. I have no idea what a pop up is, but I downloaded the pop up blocker also. Should I also download Easy Adblock Safesearch? Or is that overkill? |
I use ABP with google chrome and it works great

I'm glad I asked the question about Ad Remover. |

I prefer uBlock Origin to AdblockPlus. It's free as well. Perhaps a bit more on the geeky side, but very effective, at least for me.

Thanks everyone for your help. :ho:
Do I also need a virus blocker as well as adblock plus? (I currently have Avast Premium because a guy from Tech Heads recommended it.) |
Legitimate ad blockers will not hurt your computer, but keep in mind that some website features/functions might not work. If a web page doesn't load correctly, if you can't see icons or links, videos won't play, the comment section isn't showing, etc., disabling the ad blocker for that site should be the first thing you check. There should be an icon for the ad blocker app displayed on your browser toolbar that you can access to enable/disable blocking on individual pages, or temporarily turn it all off.
Some sites don't allow ad blockers at all; those will typically show an onscreen message to that effect. |
