Do you use an adblocker?

[.jCliff]

I use it on all sites, i can't bare having them pop up all over the place.

Remember those awful emotion ads? "Hey, say something!"

[Chris123NT]

Yes on all sites here. I pay for neowin so no need to whitelist.

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

There are a lot of sites I whitelist because I want to help support the sites.

[TPreston]

I use a 4 server TMG array with NLB to block all adverts, analytics, tracking domains, social network buttons, share buttons, widgets etc etc etc centralizing it in one location instead of using software on clients.

This junk makes up 14-25% of web requests

[spacer]

Yes, I use one on all sites. Except for Neowin and Polygon.

[sao123]

host file management provides blocking effectively... therefore it works as a pseudo ad blocker.

[articuno1au]

I block on all sites, but tend to give back in other ways.

For instance I try and help out people with computer issues a lot here; I figure it helps the community which in turn helps the owners.

I also paid for Neowin obviously >.> Honestly, the reason I started ad blocking was download speed/times. I live in Australia where in a lot of people don't have fast internet connections. I find it a complete pain in the ass to spend time downloading ads that could be used to download content. I wouldn't mind if the ads were smaller in size than the content, but it's often not the case..

Yet with your post you said more than enough.

[softgil]

Yes, I dump adds everywhere! They are really annoying! :shiftyninja:

[Steven P. Administrators]

If Neowin didnt have pop-ups, I would add them to the whitelist :D..

Yes I do use AdBlock-Plus

Neowin doesn't have popups, if you whitelist Neowin and see one, screenshot it and report it to me please.

Will do, it was on my laptop (fresh install of Win7) using IE10.

Edit: actually it just happened.. uploading scrn shot

[Steven P. Administrators]

You may mean the Netshelter survey popup thing, yeah I thought I disabled that for members? :s

[YounGMessiah]

[Crisp]

Yes I use ABP, I block everything but I also support the sites I use.

[Steven P. Administrators]

[leesmithg]

I have a life-time licence of AdMuncher currently at v4.93.33707/4673 it's 99% effective.

Whats the 1% :shiftyninja: ? :ike:

[leesmithg]

1% is an estimate.

It does not stop all pop-ups.

[Steven P. Administrators]

I updated my post above :)

The ad has been removed, we were added to a campaign by mistake :)

[McKay]

I use adblocker on all sites, but I pay for sites like Neowin and MacRumors.

[cetla]

Yes pretty much,

For,

Firefox: Adblock Plus

IE10: MGTEK Adblock IE

Iron: ABP

I used to use Adfender as a proxy filter, but it doesn't work on HTTPS connections so I have to resort to browser extensions.
