[dba-Tech] This is bad

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Jon

You mean the Premium version?
I considered that, but the additional features listed don’t seem to be relevant for our usage/browsing.
The sync you perform, I don’t see. Edge, however, knows my AD profile and automatically installs extensions – including Adblock Plus - when I logon using a computer new to me on the network. Very handy.

Yep, that's the one I use. I pay for the pro version, set it up on each computer, sync it to the profile online, so that every time I block something on one device, it's blocked on all the others.

Well worth the annual fee.

Oddly, since I started blocking ads, not only has everything gotten a lot faster to load, but I've had ZERO malware detections...

Hi Jon

Indeed. This is (should be) a mandatory extension (for Edge also) in any Windows install:

Imprint (adblockplus.org)<https://adblockplus.org/imprint>

We have used it for years with zero issues. It is beyond me why people accept the slow-loading add-bloated sites, when this free tool removes all the crap and boosts load time – at zero cost or what you may decide to donate.

Happy New Year!
Gustav

This is one of the reasons that I install adblock on every computer I own... Well, that and getting rid of advertising 😊
