bigjim Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think they were or maybe still are non-commercial like the other browsers. Which is true? Now they keep asking me do I want to see how to speed it up and when I look it seems to want me to forego my anti adware stuff and that type of stuff. It does seem to take a pretty good while to open up these days but functions ok after opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Not seeing that from Firefox. I do see websites that detect I have anti-ad stuff on but that is it. Opens fine. May be one of your add ons. Speed no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Adds are money-makers, anything that blocks adds is counterproductive to websites main purpose. Sometimes it does take a few milliseconds to block an add, but IMO it's worth the wait. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

Sometimes it does take a few milliseconds to block an add, but IMO it's worth the wait. I get that and I would not mind a reasonable amount of ads presented in a not too obtrusive way. (who defines reasonble and obtrusive of course) I was just thinking that Mozilla was a non commercial site but could not remember. I tend to follow news on google news but they mostly link to stories from other sources which more and more are blocking reading it without subscribing. You can't subscribe to all the different ones so I am not sure how to deal with that. Often they use the term "white listing" which I don't know about. Light bulb over head moment, maybe I will google white listing and hope they make the explanation simpe enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 White listing in this instance, is creating an exception to the add blocking software that allows adds to display. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.
