I’m in Poland at the moment. I’ve been accessing the BBC web site to catch up on the news etc. One thing I noticed was that there is annoying advertising on the site when you log in from abroad. :shout: It doesn’t appear when you log on in the UK, so I am used to seeing the site without these annoyances. I want my BBC back as it should be. :pissedoff:<\/p>\n
I use Firefox and an excellent add-on called Adblock plus. To get rid of the video advertising or any other graphic, all you have to do is right click and “adblock image”. But it’s a slightly different story with google adsense, which is text, not graphics. “There has to be a way” I thought – so, ironically I googled “getting rid of adsense ads” and came up with this gem of a page…<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.keyvan.net\/2006\/11\/remove-ads\/<\/a><\/p>\n …where it has four different ways of achieving that goal. One of them uses adblock plus. All I had to do was open adblock plus “preferences” and add a line to block. The line is this…<\/p>\n and while I was there I did the Yahoo ones too…<\/p>\n Now it looks as it should -but even better than that, it should work for all sorts of other sites too. \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m in Poland at the moment.
