Adblock - brilliant
I've just discovered Adblock- its brilliant for stopping ads on chrome web pages.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...biglidom?hl=en
How come nobody has told me about this before ? Pages load quicker aswell without the ads. Do get some snooty messages with all sort of threats/pleas from some websites to allow ads or they'll kill me or they'll starve, but stuff them. I wouldn't mind one ad on a page - but when there are 20 (maybe I visit the wrong sites...)

Re: Adblock - brilliant
It's the kind of thing that should really be built into browsers by now. I've been using it as long as i can remember but i've stopped being surprised by the amount of people who don't and complain about ads.

Re: Adblock - brilliant
A lot of sites are pushing it out though. ITV are the latest big one to whinge.
