Install “Ghostery”, and you won’t be bothered by trackers anymore. It’s free, and it’s great! I first learned about it here & I don’t hesitate to recommend it.
Just be sure to “whitelist” Freerepublic, so that it continues to get hits for Google Analytics. (When you install Ghostery, and read the tutorials, you’ll know what I mean.)
I use “Ghostery” too - great stuff...
