[dba-Tech] Remove adds

Hi John

To make it easy, I just selected the "Automatic" option for the prefilled
"My Private List".
Don't know about the other choices.

Hi Gustav

I've got IE10, but hadn't noticed this facility.  Sound good!  I see a
choice of TPLs (Tracking Protection Lists).
Which one(s) did you choose?  What are other's experiences of this, and the
choice of TPLs?

John

Hi all

For a long time I've been sick and tired of reading about rescue equipment,
travels, sports gear I don't use (I'm a
swimmer) and so on. I've tried clicking the "remove this kind of add"
sometimes offered by Google, but that just tells the Googs that I've seen
this add - so it will pop up forever and ever. Very clever.

Due to the much discussion on privacy following Mr. Snowden's doings, I
decided as a first step to check out IE10's Tracking Protection. It is a
snap to turn on, zero installation, and zero cost.

It works but - much to my surprise - it also removes a lot of adds. The
local newspaper sites and ComputerWorld is now readable without adds filling
half the screen, and pages load much quicker. What a relief!
