New adBlock for edge works great

Post by River Rat » Tue Feb 07, 2017 4:06 pm

I been getting sick of ads with windows 10 with edge browser and seems I was waiting some years for a ad bock for it. Dam photobucket was a drag if you had it for free so many pop up ads and slow as hell and one group of ads were disgusting just to get you to pay for ad free. Well I saw adBlock was now OK edge browser so gave it a shot. First thing that came to mind was try it on photobucket only one ad popped up for buying photo's and none of those others and it was fast I did donate 5 bucks to them they earned there money with this one dam it would take 5 or more minutes to get pass the ads now only one click it's gone in and out of photobucket in a hurry instead of slow as shit.

Installing windows is like buying a new car. First thing you gotta do is get you some chrome.

Chrome and ABP are all you need.

I find Chrome is a resource hog and it has some privacy issues;

https://theamericangenius.com/tech-news ... sues-know/

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_c ... ing_Google
In the summer of 2016, Google quietly dropped its ban on personally-identifiable info in its DoubleClick ad service. Google's privacy policy was changed to state it "may" combine web-browsing records obtained through DoubleClick with what the company learns from the use of other Google services. While new users were automatically opted-in, existing users were asked if they wanted to opt-in, and it remains possible to opt-out by going to the Activity controls in the My Account page of a Google account. ProPublica states that "The practical result of the change is that the DoubleClick ads that follow people around on the web may now be customized to them based on your name and other information Google knows about you. It also means that Google could now, if it wished to, build a complete portrait of a user by name, based on everything they write in email, every website they visit and the searches they conduct." Google contacted ProPublica to correct the fact that it doesn't "currently" use Gmail keywords to target web ads.[8]
