On this topic, I'd like to recommend people install ad-blockers in their browsers. I use one and I find it's fantastic. What it is is a program that is added on to the internet browser you use (eg: Firefox, Internet Explorer), which then prevents all ads from being downloaded. This applies to every single ad on every single page you ever view, unless you turn it off or specifically tell it to make an exception for certain pages. This is great if you want to prevent your kids from seeing inappropriate advertisements, or even if you just want to hide all the annoying garbage that comes up. Preventing ads from being downloaded also enables pages to load quicker, thus saving you time, especially if you're on dial-up speeds. It also means less to download, meaning that if you're on dial-up or you get changed extra if you go over your broadband download allocation then it can also potentially save you money as well.
The one I use is designed for use with Firefox and is called Adblock Plus. It's free to download and use. You can download it here: http://adblockplus.org/en/
I'm sure there's equivalents for IE and Chrome, but since I don't use those browsers I can't really recommend one. |
