What Ad Blocker are you Using on LPF?

[InfinitusEquitas]

I know that there are another two recent threads about this same subject, but they were closed. Clearly the discussion about adds is over.

So instead of complaining about it, I just want to eliminate the problem from my browsing experience.

Few minor details;

I'm on a 27" screen 99% of the time... which means I have a ton of screen real estate.

I never blocked the ads (except mentally) and occasionally even click one out of curiosity. I figure by doing this, it also helps the forum out in a small way.

I realize that they are necessity, and so long as they aren't obnoxious, with crazy animations, flashing or sound... they don't bother me.

That is so long as they don't interfere with browsing the site.

I don't know how others use the site, but I tend to open a new tab to view a thread, and if it's from my control panel, I go immediately to the last page from the control panel, and hyper scroll all the way down there to get the to the last post.

So this statement:

the ads on the bottom should have zero impact to the usability of the site.

Is far from accurate.

On any given page on LPF, three full SCREENS are taken up by ads and formatting, before any user generated content can be seen.

There are more adds on here then on any other forum I know of. Either that or they are far less intrusive there.

As it is, this is by far the most add intensive site (of all the sites) I frequent on a daily basis.

Sorry to say that I need to now start using an ad blocker. Since I'm sure a few of you already use one... Any suggestions?

When you find a good one let me know let me know what it is. I've been all for the forum making money (or at the very least breaking even), but now that there are 10 of the EXACT same ad at the bottom of the screen, I'm for blocking them all.

I'm hoping that this latest round of garbage is just a confirmation issue, although it's hard to tell with the admin locking every thread that comes up that questions the amount of ads on the site.

i removed the ads in the top left

the ads on the very bottom of the page should not have any impact on the usability of the site.

the ads on the very bottom shouldnt get in the way of anything....
