How To Block Online Adverts

You don’t have to see adverts on Facebook, Youtube – or anywhere else on the internet for that matter.

There’s no denying that the whole internet is plastered with adverts, many of them are either annoying, intrusive or both. That’s the kind of advertising that you definitely don’t want to be subjected to. And it’s exactly the kind of adverts that Adblock Plus wants to get rid of.

While I am all up for supporting amateur developers and small businesses, there are some apps where it is more beneficial to go with the big guys. That is especially true of any program that works with weather forecasts.
