On my laptop, I use Win7/Firefox with most of the blocking add-ons they offer. I never see any pop-ups, ads or re-directs. I have 9 different
blockers of various types and they work well for me. Right now they are showing a plethora of excluded intrusions.
I hate to block the ads because I know they're a source of revenue to this forum, but the advertisers and 3rd parties have spoiled my web
experience. I will block everything that annoys me.
