Quite recently I've noticed that most sites carry sensationalist "adverts" at the bottom of the page. Such headings as "the $2 pill that helped a local woman shed 200lbs in 3 days" etc, etc. Once you click on one you are whisked away to a world of utter tosh and nonsence. The overheads on my bandwidth are vast, and these "adverts" seem to contain scripts that are constantly crashing and locking up my browser (Firefox).
Am I alone here ? It's pretty much ruined large parts of the web for me; but to give some perspective, porn sites seem to be free from it ;-)
AdBlockPlus appears to be powerless..... hopefully the LFGSS Tech Savy Massive can give me back my virtual life !?
Thanks in advance for any sympath / help / general Pee-taking,
Gren
PS. my PC is running Win 10 with a SSD, so I'd jus got used to some decent performance before this happened - I'll have to wait another 20 yrs for that now :-(
