Thank you, this is very good
Now one of the site will not show their 4 paragraph of content because I blocked their 10 mb of trash
Compare the 4 paragraph of industry news which requires those attack ads, to the wealth of quality content on sites like these which do not hijack my browser

If you try to walk out of the store with an item without paying, they will block you too. Hello?

If all a store has is four paragraphs of content, then I don't need them, anyway.
Or are you saying that you enjoy clickbait news sites?

Do NOT do this.
This is stealing content without giving them the advertising revenue they need to survive as a business.
It is no different than torrenting CD.

After your very usefull replies like or or even i guess you are a website programmer that spams the client with all that bullish. Get over it, nobody wants to be annoyed by stupid and vulnerable ads that trash your pc.

Ah, so now I'm a thief? 
Let us be clear; it is my PC, I pay for the electricity, I decide what the damn machine does. I never gave any website owner the permission to load third-party crap that they do not take responsibility for.
As for the revenue, that is not just coming from ads - and those tracking-cookies will not be around permanently either.

According to the law it is different.

My bandwidth, my PC, my time. Ads steal all of them, plus the malware they often try to install. Keeping thieves out is very well in my rights.

Actually, using a hosts block is very different. If CNN really wants me to see an ad, then they need to host it on cnn.com.
If cnn.com is trying to display something from ShadyNetwork.cx, then they deserve to get their crap blocked. They made this bed, now they get to lie in it.
Of course, it will never happen because if CNN is hosting an ad on cnn.com and I get malware from it, then CNN is financially liable. The third party ad network not only reduces a small but not insignificant amount of bandwidth for them, but it shields them from legal liability when ads go wrong.
I don't know the statistics on the situation, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that ad networks were the #1 vector for malware infections.

I use IE for browsing and I have Chrome set up to disable javascript and some sites I view in Chrome for this very reason, and it's almost always news sites or any other kind of content-focussed site. I've got quite good and looking at a url and predicting that I should open it in Chrome.

I'm always bang-on at deciding when to open sites in Edge.
When I need to download Chrome.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Meanwhile that other browser is crying in the corner because nobody wants to play

Probably because it's tried to change the rules: "Less is more"

Flashblock, AdBlock Plus and some sites in hosts... I rarely see ads anymore, even in YouTube videos. Hosts is for the crappy sites sponsorised by Google, such as ask and softonic.

Hi All,
Odd question why do some members care about rep points, other members, normally regulars (such as Nagy, Griff & few others) don't give a four X about it, some like below guy cares. It's not as if you will meet them at work or socially... but just have a ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) and calm down.
|
|

|

As The Doctor said of museums, "It's how I keep score".
I don't directly care about the points themselves, but I like seeing my profile advance up "Page 2 of 612,205" of the Who's Who. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
On the other hand, having a high rep means having a responsibility.
