Networking and broadband talkabout. Need help with that new router or setting up a network?

But on some sites that I've hit, you can't see the contents unless you turn off your ad blockers. I'm starting to see more of those. Not a big deal - I just leave the site. Screw them. I see enough dumb ads I don't need to see more of them. Having blockers makes surfing the net bearable.

I've noticed that I get those messages for Chrome, using AdBlock Plus. In Firefox, I don't get harassed as much. Almost never. I guess I'll go back to using FF if Google is going to go that route and twist our arms. It'll help FF gain a lot of users.
