Maybe the internet is going to collapse upon itself.
See my post Number 20.
When you posted that a while ago, I went there and read about it, installed it, I can go anywhere and there are no ads...I love it, and thank you for recommending it....
Which site had 91 ads blocked? I work in this field, and am interested to know what’s going on on that site. I suspect it’s one of the sites listed on this page: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/blog/2015/08/19/issues-with-yavli-advertising
I installed AdBlockPlus the other day and was shocked at how effective it is in blocking ads....and it took seconds to download ....easy!
My mac mini I bought in 2012 recently died on me. I am convinced it was from visiting Glenn beck’s sh-t site the blaze, and breitbart. The late great namesake is spinning in his grave over what the new people in charge have done to it...
Conservative news sites seem to be the worst of all on ad overload. (Maybe because they feel outnumbered and put upon, they feel entitled to especially smother their readers with intrusive ads?)
Anyway, explains why Rush would be especially barraged by them as well.
Oh, other than FR as a news aggregator and discussion site—thank you, JimRob!
Apple allows blocking, but then sends their paid social marketers to our forum to infect this site with their campaigns disguised as “interest lists.”
Radio has always had adds. I can remember a time when I could search the internet and find data that is free and not have 100 sites trying to sell the data to me on the search engine.
...and does that even count the "imbedded" ads - made to sound like part of Rush commentary?
A few years ago, and perhaps still, the ‘embedded’ ads were in his ‘commercial free’ podcast. At least with a podcast you can easily forward 2 or 3 minutes when he starts talking about identity theft, hot water, hard drive failure, etc.

Your jealousy and envy are showing again.
Google (Android’s developer) gets its many billions from advertising and SELLING USER’S DATA. Apple makes its profits by selling value in the form of quality products and has, at its core, respect for the privacy of its customers. And it respects that privacy unlike Google.
Thanks!
thanks for info....I guess it would be hard to edit out the imbeds...but as you said, not hard to FW past them.
This also works well for that Global conspiracy dude from Austin, also Savage, and I'm sure many others.
I don’t pay to hear Rush. I pay for internet service. I end up paying for the web adds loading up but with rush I simply turn down the volume.
Wow. Just installed it. Thank you, FRiend.
