I have an idea: The ads appear by default. If you are a member, you can disable the ads in the user control panel. The ads disappear if you have disabled the ads and are logged in. Visitors and members who want to support Neowin by clicking on ads will get them.

Here's another idea - use a browser that the ads don't work on if you're so rattled by them, then you'll never have to deal with them on any site that uses them. :rolleyes:

I would suggest to just add to the host file.

Only reason i say that is because IE users have now been told that pop ups can be halted now in IE in SP2 and so, advertisers will find other ways to get to the customer. I have noticed a increase in this form of advertising already.

I dont think suggesting a new browser is the way to fix the problem, its like sweeping your hassles underneath the carpet.

An ad-free Neowin is impossible. Donations never amount to enough to pay for our server and backup solution so we have to use advertising because its a stable income we can build on to pay for this service. We choose advertising very carefully so as not to ruin the experience for the visitor. People who block 3 or 5 orange words and our 468x60 banner that help pay for Neowins existence need to consider how else we can stay online.

Just as a viable solution to the VibrantMedia IntelliTXT links since everyone here has complained about them so much with JavaScript issues and what not, has Neowin tried the new Clicksor text links, I just added them on my sites and they seem to work much better than the VibrantMedia IntelliTXT links. The load a heck of a lot faster and they are a lot more configurable, you can filter out certain keywords or phrases that you don't want it to underline so that you keep the links relevant to your content. Just an option. You can check out one of my sites running them here if you would like:

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
