I can stand popup ads but the ones that stream video distract me till i cant concentrate on reading. this blocker seems to kill those , make your web page wider , and makes your page loading much snappier . its free but the author asks for donations . right .. ( sarc )
I can't get use to reading the newspaper on line because of the advertisements. Give me the old fashioned newspaper that is thrown in the driveway... the only thing I need to watch out for is a cat barreling into the paper while I am reading it :P
