Seven or eight years ago I added an ad blocker to Firefox, my web browser. Now, some sites, mainly newspapers, detected my blocker and stopped me from reading their product. But they obviously felt their ads were more important than their content.
Last week Mozilla.org changed their code which destroyed optional add-ons, including my ad blocker. So I’ve had to endure ads for a week now. Wow, I didn’t know how pervasive those things were on the internet. Some sites are almost unusable with boxes of crap covering up the actual content; the worse is auto-start videos.
Firefox is fixed now, and now I can actually see what is being published.
