Today I went to a site that Rush may have been referring to. I use an Ad Bock program. Before loading the main page the site loaded 58 ads first. When I clicked on a story of interest that site loaded 84 ads before I got to read the actual contents. When I went to the comments section the total ads shot up to 91.
Maybe the internet is going to collapse upon itself.
Now, what do we do about his radio show that is 33% ads?
I hope that Apple allows Ad blocker apps
Wonder if he meant Breitbart?
The movie “Idiocracy” get’s it right once again. Ads plastered everywhere.
Can someone provide a link or name of a safe and reliable ad blocker for Windows that would work when browsing sites like Breitbart and others like that (which now freeze everything up, and I tend to avoid)?

CNN revised their site some months ago, and the load times hit the stratosphere on IE (and now, the new browser on Win10.) It’s still quite usable in Firefox with AdBlock and NoScript. Same with a number of other sites. (And don’t forget Ghostery).
Rush needs to get a techie to set up a browser for him.
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
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!
