How To Get Rid Of Ads On The Internet

One of the biggest complaints people have about the internet is advertisements. They pop up and get in your way and clutter your screen making it harder to actually read or see the actual content. Many people just put up with this annoyance, but there is an easy way to stop ads on the internet.

There are free applications you can use with your web browser that will block those intrusive ads from your screen. I use one in particular called Adblock Plus. It is an Add-On that is used with FireFox and Chrome. It is free and can be installed easily.

Once you have Adblock installed it will block pretty much all of the advertisements you come across on the internet. Even most of those ads that play before videos will be blocked. The result ends up saving you a lot of time and annoyance with having to navigate around these ads. If you are tired of advertisements interfering with your web browsing, be sure to try out a free ad block program like Adblock Plus.

Ads on the Internet are Getting Out of Hand

Is it just me or are there becoming more and more advertisements on the internet. Pretty much any site you go to you either get ads all over the page or pop up ads. You have to navigate through them to get to the actual content. I understand a few ads on your site just to help earn some money to support the site, but some sites are just getting out of hand.

If you have more ads on your site than content, you have too much. If I need to close 3 windows and force close FireFox 2 times, you have too many ads.

Then there are the annoying ads like the ones that hoover over content so you can't see or click things. And the Youtube ads that go over the video. Listen, nobody clicks those, so stop putting them on there. It's not worth the occasional accidental click.

Videos on Youtube used to be free. Now it's no different than tv where you have to watch commercials.

I have some Google ads on this blog, but they do not overshadow the blog posts. Really it is barely even worth having the ads. I have over a hundred articles on here and I have earned like a few dollars total.

Everything always comes back to money. People want more money and they will compromise user experience on the internet to get it. Unfortunately I don't see the situation getting better, only worse as time goes on.

Update: You can now block most ads on the internet with free browser plugins like Ad Block Plus. They are easy to install and make internet browsing a lot better and less annoying.
