Too Many FR Pop-Ups

I need a pop-up blocker, or is it the nature of things these days ?

[newfreep]

I’m using Chrome with “uBlock Origin” with GREAT results!!!

“Ad Block Plus”, in comparison, is fatter/bloatier, slower & more memory intensive.

“uBlock Origin” is very HIGHLY recommended!!!

I like the Strawberry-Cinnamon Pop-ups myself.

I ignore American Thinker threads because there are so many posted by the same FReepers continuously all day long. It’s as if their whole site is reposted on FR. Not liking that practice.

[sauropod]

I also have been looking at posters’ born on dates more often as well, primarily as one means of credibility assessment.

[knarf]

Yep ... you use fancier words.

Same here. Breitbart seems to have made some fixes the past 3 weeks so try it again.

[Frapster]

AMEN! And I usually don’t go back to those sites regardless of who participates in developing the content.

FR doesn’t have pop-ups

I use ghostery and I have to tell you it is the best blocker I have ever had. No Ads. You formulate what you want to see. For example I use disques so that comes through.

You formulate it by going to sites and dropping down the ad piece and clicking the various ad streams off.

I like it better than adblock or any of the others I have used.

No ads on Breitbart, except for their own at the top of the page, NO ads from Daily Mail, none from any where.

It is great, everything loads quickly. and it is free!

I cannot speak too highly of it.

If you find the answer to the ads on the smart tv problem, please let me know. I have the same problem using you tube (we no longer have cable).

FR doesn’t do ads or popups. Other sites do, and your browser can be set to reject most popups.
Always open links in a “private browsing” window.

[RegulatorCountry]

My browser OS allows me to block popups. There are also apps or extensions that do the same. I’ve never seen a popup on FR, though, even before I blocked them. You mean on sites linked on articles posted to FR, correct?

[sauropod]

I speak fluent Anglo Saxon as well.😉

Those are cardboard. Make the “filled cookies” recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Excellent hunger pains blocker.

[RummyChick]

this may be the only site on the internet that is not filled with garbage programming that slows down a computer It’s not fair to say those popups are from FR.

I don’t see pop-ups or ads anymore.
A pop-up riddled site to you is a peaceful and calm site to me.

Using Chrome:
https://www.ghostery.com/

and Ad Blocker Plus
