If you are an experienced user, you will almost certainly remember how the Internet looked several years ago. Then it was really a data warehouse in which you could find almost any information.
Time passed, and people began to look for ways to earn money on the vastness of the World Wide Web. Advertisers quickly responded to the desires of such users, who gladly began to pay for posting ads on their personal page. It has become so popular that ad blocking is mandatory for anyone who doesn’t want to lose their minds when looking at tons of advertising junk posted on a page.
How can I make browsing more enjoyable and rewarding? The most radical and decisive way is a complete ban on displaying images in the browser. Unfortunately, such an ad blocking does not give a 100% guarantee, and you can easily miss most of the useful information. How to be? After all, looking at the obsessive and disgusting products of advertising companies is no longer possible!
Any kind of decent anti-virus program can help your grief. The fact is that such applications have recently learned to block most of all advertising links and images, reliably hiding users from them. For example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus can boast of such a function.
In addition, programs to block ads are part of many modern firewalls. Especially successful in this regard can be considered products from Agnitum. By installing their firewall on your computer, you will forget about most of the advertising tinsel.
However, to combat the obsessive manufacturers, specialized applications have long existed. These include AdMuncher. A funny cow, constantly hanging in the tray, not only “squeezes” most of the advertising, but also saves your traffic.
Unfortunately, all these programs have one big minus. All of them are paid. Of course, their cost is quite decent, but for most of our users, and these amounts seem very tangible. However, in such a situation there is a way out, even if you do not resort to the use of stolen products. This concerns users of the Firefox browser, although recently there was such an ad blocking in Google Chrome. This is a great extension for these browsers called AdBlock.
Its main value is not even in free, but in that the add-on admirably blocks
ad units. And not only banal banners and pop-ups! Flash-animation, gif-clips and even some part of contextual advertising content get under the blow of the program! In a word, ad blocking works so reliably that you will soon be horrified to remember what the pages of the Global Web really look like ...
What is the danger of such banner ads? The thing is that under them various malicious programs are often disguised , of which there are very, very many on the Internet today. The usual pop-up window most often leads not to the site of a bona fide manufacturer (which will not stoop to such dirty tricks), but to the doorway, where they will almost certainly try to plant a virus or trojan on your computer . So ad blocking is an important element in ensuring computer security.
