I have an iPad Air. Can that run iOS 9?

YUP!

Ok, excellent. Man, I can't wait. Thanks for the info.

Just installed Crystal Ad Blocker and then went to Breitbart.com to test it out. Awesome awesome awesome!

I wasn't referring to Rush's Apple talk -- I was referring to his Lifelock infomercials inserted into his 3rd hour programming, passed off as "part of" the program (and included as program in podcast downloads, which are allegedly commercial free)

But in true FReeper fashion, you immediately jump to an unwarranted conclusion. Thanks for the dialog.

Ghostery highlights the various advertising and demographic "trackers" which many websites run in the background, slowing loading as well as creating privacy concerns.

The newer versions of Firefox can do this through a menu setting, but I prefer the detail view Ghostery provides.

I would also suggest NoScript for FireFox, in addition to Ghostery and AdBlock.

Thanks! I did install Ghostery yesterday on your recommendation. I like it. It blocks certain trackers. Why give your info to these people! Now Ghostery is blocking some or most.
I put Ghostery on maximum blocking for cookies and trackers

Ad Block Plus is also great..... My websites are loading faster. PLUS less memory is being used up by these advertisements. I see the amount of memory being used by Firefox in my windows task manager (Windows 7)

[dennisw]

I will do the same as you and rely on Ghostery for this task

Those are not "passed off" as part of the programing. You just missed the segues from programing to advertisement because they are spoken by the person who is doing the airtime. Rush, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Brian Sussman, Tom Sullivan, Larry King, George Noory, all of them advertise for Lifelock or one of the other Identity security companies the same way, segueing into and out of the commercial smoothly. There really is no way to do this type of radio ad differently. There's no background music to run in it. It is the time honored way professional radio announcers do advertising in talk radio.

I jumped to no conclusion. You inserted your comment criticizing Rush in an thread about Rush talking about Apple. . . and others have complained that Rush "advertises for Apple" as a paid shill.

Thanks for your dialogue.
