You could try Mozilla Firefox. NEVER use Chrome and especially never use Internet Explorer or any Microsoft browser. Isn’t Edge the new one? All the big tech companies are thieves and should be broken up under anti-trust laws.

If you use Firefox, like I do, go to extensions or add-ons and get ad block plus. Very helpful. (You will know you have the right one when a stop sign appears and it says “Now annoying ads will be stopped) or something similar. I get no ads on youtube. Nada.I get no ads ever.Some sites will ask you to turn off your ad blocker, but as someone on this board said, “ I turn off my ad blocker for NO ONE” :)

You could also try Brave browser. It has built-in ad blocker and is also free, and was authored by one of the founders of Firefox.

Use the browser you are using to download one of the above, and then NEVER use it again. Ads connect you to third party sites that have malware and viruses. You need that like a hole in the head.

I us Firefox and Opera on my phone. All free.

Hope this helps.

Maria sure was ripping into Peter Navarro this morning. She must’ve been impressed with Leland Vittert’s recent reaming of him.

[It’s not giving me an option on my main computer. I can’t even see the comment section any longer. ]


Did you install a different browser?

Not having cable or satellite; I’m glad to see OAN has a streaming site now for just $5 a month. It’s a lot but we don’t have a lot of choices and it also supplies RT and Infowars which has been deplatformed by Youtube. The market always finds a way.

Becoming more unfair and unbalanced. No wonder they decided to drop that slogan.

I can see comments or make a comment on maybe half of the news stories. Many of them don’t have a comment section. Not that I can see on Pale Moon at least. But if I can see comments, I can make one. Did this morning.

I’ve been shadow-banned. I suspect they used my MAC address (router and/or computer); the network device that connects us to the Internet on any device. We can change our IP address using a VPN but the MAC address is written in stone on any given device. There are ways to spoof it but it’s a pain and you have to spoof your computer and router address. It’s not worth it to me at this time. I’d rather not give Foxnews my business and give it to someone else (OAN). The modem likely has a MAC address too so it can be complicated.

I use a VPN, Script Blocker, and Ad Block Plus so I’m as insulated as I can be (within reason). Firefox is and has been my main browser for about 10 years now. I’d use Brave but they don’t allow my Script Blocker which is important to me. Brave is basically Firefox Light.

I also got away from Windows several years ago. I find Linux Mint to be so much better, more reliable, and faster in general. It was like upgrading my computer when I switched to Linux Mint. If you haven’t done so yet; I highly recommend it.

I don’t think websites can see your MAC address. I highly recommend trying Opera, if Brave doesn’t work. Or try Chrome.

I am not sure Murdoch wasn’t much better. He fell on his sword for Obama in ‘08. Didn’t Murdoch put a leash on Ailes in ‘08?

Looks like you're right. MAC addresses are only accessible on a LAN. I wonder how they do it. I deleted all the cookies with fox in the name. Maybe they're getting even sneakier...

That's okay. If they want to play these games; I'll just take my marbles and go play elsewhere.

If you’re allergic to browsers other than Firefox, I can’t think of anything else to try. Best of luck. I can tell you, as a Firefox user, that I occasionally encounter web pages that work only in Chrome.
