My favorite gun videos are Hickok45, even nutnfancy...but the ads are ruining this stuff.

There are several movie type websites and Hulu that insert ads.

I watched a couple of movies on crackle.com. Every 10 minutes, the movies were interrupted with the same commercial. I counted some 22 breaks with the same ad. I seldom watch anything on those ad-supported channels.

I do subscribe to Netflix streaming.

I also have DVR-ed many tv series, cut out the commercials, and saved them to disk. I occasionally ‘marathon’ an old series that I haven’t watched in a while.

They are in business to make money.

I recommend AdBlocker (which I believe is available for several different kinds of browsers across several different platforms). Also, the Element Hiding Helper if you can get it, which allows you to block links and text and whole sections of pages. They're what I use, and I've been applying them especially heavily to YouTube lately. Also, if you're really getting ticked at certain kinds of advertising, NoScript can really lay the smack down on anything AdBlocker and the Element Hiding Helper might have missed.

You can watch the youtube videos without any commercials.

Always use DownloadHelper to download the film. After the file begins to download just open the directory where it is being saved and drag and drop the file onto VLC media player.

This is also useful for those with slow DSL that cannot watch high-bandwidth video live. Just wait until the remaining download time is shorter than the length of the video and then start watching the stored file. If you don’t close the youtube page after the file begins downloading then you are using twice as much bandwidth so close the page.

If the film turns out to be a keeper you already have a copy saved :-)

Oh yeah, I also use FlashBlock, although if you use that, it does add the step of having to click on a video on YouTube before it will start loading. Of course, I personally rather prefer not having those videos auto-loading without my permission.

Yahoo is even worse than Utube.

I use a terrific shareware program called AdMuncher. it blocks all popups, all banner ads, and all video ads. And, if you like, you can block other stuff on sites that you visit often.

It’s a very small program, updated every day, and it actually speeds things up, since you don’t have to download all those large ads when you visit various websites.

Basically, I go all over the net without noticing that there ARE any ads. One of the few shareware program I have used since its conception, follow in beta, never have any problems with, and can’t do without.

Get Adblocker Plus and some good filter subs. I’ve yet to see the first ad with that arrangement.
