I looked at Adblock as I've used it before, only to find that it wants access to just about everything. Why are all these computers so bloomin' nosey? They track and follow you everywhere, then bombard you with advertising. We've just been looking at Itv X and after signing in, we got loads of local adverts as it has our postcode. Big Brother is definitely watching you, watching it! My new PC has no microphone and no camera for a reason! Thanks for the advice folks. Much appreciated. The last person that followed me in the street (Great Yarmouth lowlife looking for a pensioner to mug) got a shock when I jumped out in front of him at a corner and said "Yes! What the **** are you following me for?" He turned on his heels and ran!

More likely commercial enterprises, in the hope of obtaining your hard earned coin, rather than Big Brother. Big Brother has already got his hands on it before you did . Quote:
As for adblock, I find it brilliant for Youtube, and it 'shuts up' tabloid type news sites. If a website requests whitelisting on it, I simply dont bother. We have a lot of information at our hands now, and it needs to be paid for somehow. On top of that, you have so many more information/entertainment/'news' outlets too, all needing paid for. Add in the folk, like me, who do not want to pay for a lot of things we can get alternatives for free elsewhere (eg entertainment), as well as our demands for instant and convenient info/news/entertainment. Without noticing, we have diluted the quality that we once believed we had. Think of it as a scenario of 4 TV channels with 1000 employees each, which contained 100 geniuses among them, now we have 400 channels, with 100 employees each, and 1 genius in each, competing with each other. To gain the 'quality' we once had, it needs to be paid for, or 'topped up'. NHS/pension anyone? (notice how many more private healthcare and pension ads we have now )

Ad blockers have become a popular tool for internet users seeking a streamlined and uninterrupted online experience. These software applications, browser extensions, or mobile apps are designed to prevent the display of online advertisements. While they offer benefits such as faster page loading times and reduced data usage, there are various aspects to consider. When exploring digital tools, it's valuable to consider user reviews, such as those for Phobio. Users often share insights into their experiences, providing perspectives on the efficiency, reliability, and overall satisfaction with Phobio's trade-in services. These reviews can guide others in making informed decisions about utilizing Phobio's offerings.
