Hi Rocky

Not me, sorry. I use IE exclusively.

I'm using Adblock Plus on Firefox and it's always worked well but lately
seems not to be.

Do you know of something I can do with Firefox - a similar add-on perhaps.

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!
