Ad Blockers -- Who uses them

[Gteuk]

Just a question out of curiosity more than anything else I use ad blockers on the likes of youtube as it is annoying when you are playing a play list and you get adverts.

 

I have noticed over the years though a decline in impressions of adverts on this site although other than the recent glitch with the site the amount of page views are consistent.

 

I suppose the only reason I ask is I wonder if google is miss reporting or there is a link with ad blockers which I am sure there is.

Hands up- I use Ad Blocker Plus. Does not apply to this site so much- but others are a nightmare without it.

I use Ad blocker plus. It stops a lot of crap bothering me

Been using AdBlocker Plus too, since I read this thread last year:

Edit:  I've just whitelisted this domain, and the Ads aren't too bad, apart from Amazon trying to sell me stuff I have already bought ! :)

This site used to depend on advertising revenues,, I can understand not wanting to see them but I do try not to splatter then all over the place.

I have added a new amazon one on the main forum side bar and asked it to show citroen Picasso relevant items.

I use chrome and adblocker plus on youtube as I said I like my music to be uninterrupted.

Internet Explorer adblock plus - easylist tracking protection is blocking 6 services on the site at the moment

 

not using the new Edge browser because of it's lack of support for addons including ad blockers.

A little known fact (to me anyway) is that Win 10 still has IE11 built in, including Edge too.  

 

I can't update my Satnav - Garmin - on Chrome or Firefox - Edge doesn't work either, so I finally found on a Forum that IE11 will work, and it does ! :)

 

It seems quite well hidden away though.

Edge has an option in the ' more' menu ( far right , 3 dots )  ' open in internet explorer '

 

It's quite good at opening pdf files but as a browser to say it needs still needs  a little  work is an understatement.

 

and as for the new Mail  program and it's intermittent notifications  ....  I've given up with it .
