Ad Blocker

Ad Blocker Easy Surfing

Don't you love those nasty pop up? If you have ever had a series of pop up ads slow down or even crash your computer, you are in no doubt the same frame of mind as I am. Those ads could not be any more annoying, and that’s how I feel about the people who put them up. If I see a company name on a pop up ad, I will never shop from them. If you are going to annoy me like that, there is no way I want to buy your product or service. The good news is that you can get an ad blocker that will take care of most of these ads, and most of the time they are absolutely free of charge.

If you have the Google toolbar, you have a free ad blocker to use. I have one of these and it works 99 percent of the time. It even tells me how many ads it has blocked. It’s amazing how high that number can get in just a few months. Though most people have ad blockers, there are still a high number of pop up ads out there. As far as I am concerned, a pop up ad is much like a telemarketer calling at dinnertime. They are endlessly annoying, and any type of ad blocker is a welcome tool on my computer.

Free Ad Blocker

Almost any tool bar you can download will have an ad blocker. I also have one from Furl and they have one as well. Make sure you know the source of any tool bar before you download it though, and never get one from an unknown source, even if you really want the adblocker. Some of them will suck the life out of your computer and they will send your web browsing habits to advertisers who want to know where you go online and what kinds of things you do. Beware of the spyware adblocker.

Your ad blocker will do well for you no matter where you get it, but there are some ads it does not catch for some reason. I’m afraid it’s like spam email. Though there are ways to get rid of most of it, there are still some that slip through. As hard as people work to make an ad blocker or spam eliminator, there is someone else working just as hard to find a way around the both of them. Neither of these things can be totally eliminated, at least not right now, but you can greatly minimize how annoying they are when you are online. So next time you will enjoy even more your web surfing with an adblocker.
