Ad Blockers highly recommended

Meh, how this could be such a concerning subject is a mystery to me. I have much more worrisome items to be in the forefront.

This is much like people throwing an inane fit over a sales call or specifically calling companies to voice complaints about spam emails or junk mail in their mailbox. My time is far more valuable than sitting on hold for 30 minutes to stop an email from a department store.

It takes 100 times the effort to freak out than to ignore, and I really don't believe other than assisting in marketing analytics that an internet tracker is a conspiracy. I don't care if they track away and I will just continue to ignore the directed advertising that appears on sites I visit because of it. That's the extent of the tracking headaches the internet causes me.

Or just maybe the black helicopters will drop in my backyard and put me under the spotlight to ask about my Amazon purchases...

If you don't have all that adware, malware and spamware, how do your Nigerian prince cousins know how to contact you? Geez..........

I'd venture that his ad blocker is picking up the ebay rover links in the section titled "shop pre-war auctions" underneath the ribbon of Net54 links at the top of the page and counting each rover link as a separate ad. Other ad blockers may not count those at all.

Never had a problem with the Net54 site. Would avoid clicking on the link on the bottom of Matt's page though. Clicked on his For Sale link and got some ransomware that I had to force a computer shut down and restore my computer to a earlier saved backup point.

It appears he's using the same ad blocker that both Sean and I are using and we both show only 1 ad being blocked on this site. His is at 120. I'm on my work computer right now (Don't worry, I'm the boss, I can be on here whenever I like ) and the ad blocker here is showing only 1 item being blocked.

Since joining this site, I don't ever recall seeing one pop up/ad ever.

I use to belong to a truck forum that was painful Needless to say I no longer frequent that site.

I'm currently using Avast (paid version) and Super Anti Spyware with Windows 10 and it's ad/pop up free sailing.

Guy came on here like a ton of bricks. . .odd. . . . None of us have seen any of these issues. Pops ups? Not one in last year.

There is no doubt the guy has computer issues or is just trying to stir the pot for some reason?
