Ad Blockers

May 6, 2017 9:50AM PDT

I use FireFox on my iMac. I don't remember asking for Ad Blockers (uBlock) but I have it. Looked at results and 100s of items/mails have been blocked. Good idea to have a Blocker?

And over the past few months, the count has been going higher and higher as I guess the sites are piling on the adverts. You could disable it but your choice.

Different type but same results. It blocks adverts and other bad things from accessing the browser.

Hope this helps.
