Pick up your desk phone and dial the IT dept. They can hook you up, im am sure of it.

DOD is still its biggest funder if I am not mistaken.

Or, private companies like netflix get bigger and start offering ads like hulu plus PAID service. netflix is flirting with ad revenue, although I havent heard much from them in a while.

I havent watched cable tv in IDK how long. I catch a tv shows on there so I can binge watch seasons. I THINK there is a VPNfornetflix or something like that, that will still alllow you to access their other countries libraries, which are region locked normally. Just set the VPN to a server in tthe country you want to check out and then log into netflix.

I had a free year from T-Mobile also, I got it when I got my S7 Edge. I might renew it, but I don't watch much TV to start with, so I'm not sure that's a good use of my entertainment dollars.

I binge watched a bunch of shows when I got it, now I think I've gone through everything I wanted to see, so not much draw any more.

Madwi, this ublock and adblock you mention. Are they hard to install? I'm running Firefox at home and safari at work, but I get ads on both based on what I shop for on Amazon. I know enough about IT to be dangerous to myself...

They're stupid simple to install. Just go to Firefox's app store and search for ublock origin, adblock, and disconnect. Download them and they will automatically load as extensions within the browser any time it is opened.

ublock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...origin/?src=ss

Disconnect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...onnect/?src=ss

Adblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...us/?src=search

Been using Adblock+ for years, it's just a Firefox add on and works great. Takes a minute and a half to put it on. I use iPad pretty much exclusively now so it's a moot point for me, but would shudder at surfing without Ablock on. Hate all those ads and pop ups BS

do you install all 3 or just choose one?

Leingod · 03-29-2017, 10:18 AM

I'd be weary of using just adblock now. They have been known to accept money to allow specific ads through from marketers paying them. Hence why Ublock was born.

I always have ublock and disconnect active. Never have any issues with them. Ublock and adblock sometimes will fight with each other on sites like Verizon. Some stuff won't load properly.

njobe89 · 03-29-2017, 10:21 AM

i just installed adblock on chrome... i'll see how that goes

Go to youtube and see if any video ads still play before the actual video you wants starts.
