I have metered service via AT&T and a Straight Talk hotspot. Very satisfied with this arrangement.
I strenuously use Ad Block Plus when on the Internet for several reasons:
1. ABP may block malware via ads.
2. Some websites have videos that start was soon as the page loads. This uses my metered service whether I’m interested in the video or not. This pisses me off and I block these videos with Ad Block Plus. I also use ABP on sites where they load a lot of graphics.
3. Some websites, USA Today is one, trap that an ad blocker is being used and will not allow access to their site unless the ad blocker is turned off. My philosophy: I control the content that gets put on my computer, not the website owner. ESADS to sites like USA Today. Typically worthless content.
“Some websites, USA Today is one, trap that an ad blocker is being used and will not allow access to their site unless the ad blocker is turned off.”
Well, I just went there to see if it would detect mine and block access but it didn’t. I looked at several articles and a photo gallery. You might want to experiment with different ad blockers.
