It's not just me then, I've always run an add blocker can't stand them. Some sites I visit they tell me to turn the blocker off....they've got no chance.

I have used adblocker plus on fire fox for the last few years,I can't fault it.
I recently saw someone else's screen and all the animated adverts on their homepage.
I couldn't live with that,and would have to climb back up into the trees or get back into the primordevial soup.

On here it usually seems random, although at the moment it's offering me Google Chromecast for £30, which VT was just commenting on.

On other sites I have been offered products which I have only just Googled or searched through eBay or on Screwfix.

Funny you should say that about targeted advertising, I use my iPhone 99% of the time in here and often the advert bar at the top is advertising something I've looked at recently or searched on my phone,

I have always seen one advert banner at the top of every page, it doesn't bother me and I figured that was just normal.

That's using Macs or my iPad and running Safari.

It pisses me off on some other sites when the advert is specifically targeted to something I have recently searched for.

If anyone is using Google Chrome just goto settings / Extensions / get more extensions and type in the search box ABP then choose "Adblock Plus" and click "Add to Chrome".

It will then show as a red icon next to the settings icon. I installed it 2 months ago and as to date has blocked 53,619 adverts.
