Between AdBlock in Firefox and Chrome I don't usually see any ads on the web, so the ads can be a big shock when I try to use Internet Explorer.
I suppose if the the ads become too obtrusive in the OS itself I'll have to start modifying my router to block the them: http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-with-pixelserv-on-dd-wrt/ http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-...
- CrankyPants 14y agoYeah. I love AdBlock, and I've donated. But it still can't filter out pay-to-play content (which, working in the industry I can tell you is far more prevalent than even the most cynical of people think), or anything of that ilk. And the same thing's true of filtering: I also block all ad, social, and various other tracking networks from my entire network, but that's not going to change the fundamental dynamics at play, unless a really large number of people vote with their eyeballs, wallets, cookies, browser data, referrer data, and so on. And if enough people did, the stakeholders would just move on to the next gateway (as if they haven't already).
