Many years ago I switched browsers (from Internet Explorer to Firefox) and became aware of extensions that enabled me to censor what I saw inside of my internet browser. These days I use the Chrome browser and use several browser extensions to control what I see or do not see on websites - it even has filters for Facebook. Some say that people should not use these tools because they hurt revenue streams for websites that we visit. I see it no differently than fast forwarding through annoying political ads on my DVR. Do you use a browser that lets you censor what you see? If not you may want to change browsers.
Hey Bob, which ones do you use for Chrome?
ReplyDeleteI have used several over the years Lou. I have used AdBlock and now use AdBlock Plus. Others that I have used are: avast! WebRep; Compact Density for the new Google Bar; Hide Facebook SideBar Ticker; KB SSL Enforcer; Keep My Opt-Outs; Minimalist for Google Calendar; SiteAdvisor for Chrome.
ReplyDeleteI also have several other non-censor extensions that I use. Which ones are you using? Anything that you really like and might recommend?
Hope all is well with you and your beautiful wife! Say hi to her for me.
I love my ad blockers. I'm always so shocked when I see someone's computer that doesn't have them. Very noisy!
ReplyDeleteSurprises me too Ma.
