Totally agreed, I’m too using AdBlock Plus. But occassionally I think about all those great free web services I use, and wonder about where do they get their money from?
Of course, by selling ad spaces and receiving payments from the advertising companies.
So I regularly turn off AdBlock, visit my favorite sites, and (here comes the best part) click on the ads that link to the LEAST liked companies. The ads won’t make me buy anything from e.g. Calvin Klein, but I know that those douchebags over there in the fashion business have just paid a few cents to support my beloved free service.
WTF – who has to wait for a page to load anymore?? Still on dial-up or what?? Pages load instantly – more like, time spent trying to click pop-ups closed, or trying to mute the talking ads…
I don’t even notice ads anymore. Pop-ups blocked is a must, but the ones on the page? Don’t even know wtf they’re for…
I’m on an old computer but even without it my (rural) cable internet company is slow. I spend plenty of time waiting for pages to load. This website is one of the slowest.
Laptops (even though most of them are fairly fast- Im on one now)
School computers
Cheap internet
Ads with a better version of flash-player (I hate em)
LMAO this mostly applies to chzbrgr network sites. Do us a favor and lose the full screen banners at the top that cover all your links blocking me from seeing other adverts on your other pages.
What advertisements? Only complete and utter retards who live in cheap trailers still get advertisements. Every human with a brain already uses ad-blockers for *years*. My god, where do you *live*??
What made you say that? Jesus would be good for everyone, and thus order five penis enlargers to both please the companies that sell them and his wife.
First
Get Ad-Block Plus, then you don’t have to worry about ads.
AdBlock Plus FTW!!
Thirded. It rules.
Fourthed, came here to say this.
Fifthed. Nuff said.
There are ads on the internet?!?
I love AdBlock+
so do i, i feel sorry for people who can’t have it
can’t? what can stop them?
Stupid admins that don’t let to install FireFox
So use the portable version of FireFox; that’s what I do. get it at portableapps.com.
it doesnt work when you install web browsers for me, thank god.
i was takling to transistor09, just so you know
I count that as 6th and 7th, so I say 8th’d.
Ad-Block is GREAT!
I also came here to say this. Ad Block + is awesome.
You can also block other things, like those disgusting Madonna pictures on roflrazzi x_x
Or creepy Hallowe’en avatars on forums.
At my office we couldn’t install Firefox, but there’s actually a portable version of it. Put it on ah USB stick, plug it in, and there y’are.
9′thd came to say that – mine broke the other day and I went OMG SENSORY OVERLOAD! The internet is an ugly place if you don’t have it.
Don’t forget to install Firefox first
get NoScript, dude
Adblock Plus AND NoScript.
AdBlock Plus+FlashBlock.
All of the above, and Remove It Permanently (linked above)

It’s not a pay-per-click deal; the site leases out the ad space just like a magazine or newspaper does.
Some are pay per click, some are leased.

Pages are slow like none other to load because I’m at school, and the University is cheap on the internet
Please – you still have NO IDEA what it was like in the 90′s! LMAO!
I’m on an old computer but even without it my (rural) cable internet company is slow. I spend plenty of time waiting for pages to load. This website is one of the slowest.
The only things that cause slowness:
Laptops (even though most of them are fairly fast- Im on one now)
School computers
Cheap internet
Ads with a better version of flash-player (I hate em)
Sometimes the websites server is slow, and the add server is slower.
But then that has nothing to do with the ads, right??
techeblog is terrible
I have broadband, but a 10 year old computer, so just websites like this take a few mins to load.
but yet, i can download 3 episodes of family (LEGALLY
) To my psp in 15 minutes
Firefox + adblocker plus = what ads?
LMAO this mostly applies to chzbrgr network sites. Do us a favor and lose the full screen banners at the top that cover all your links blocking me from seeing other adverts on your other pages.
Um, time spent waiting for adult videos to load when you have 27 tabs open, all loading adult videos.
but i need all 27!
Amen
What advertisements? Only complete and utter retards who live in cheap trailers still get advertisements. Every human with a brain already uses ad-blockers for *years*. My god, where do you *live*??
Get Adblock Plus for either Firefox or Internet Explorer.
EVEN JESUS WOULD DO IT.
What made you say that? Jesus would be good for everyone, and thus order five penis enlargers to both please the companies that sell them and his wife.
ALREADY BEEN DONE!
as i was observing this graph, i tried to scroll down, and what happened? NOTHING!!! (the ads had yet to load.) well done.
