Someone grr'ed about youtube ads during the marathon. I said that as long as you don't use IE there should be a ad blocker.
They said they used chrome. So I went looking.
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb Is the add on that blocks youtube ads.
I use ad block plus in firefox.
Blocks ustream ads it is noticeable when a ad attempts to load as it freezes for a second and a bit but yeah better then ads.
Not sure what chrome's version does.
Now for some nerd rage:
I use firefox as I learned how to use the web on netscape. I also hate IE to death. Don't care what browser people use as long as it isn't IE as they were ****s and still are. Only time I swear is when I talk about web browsers. So nerdy lol.
Another random buying note is. Windows 7 pro retail version US price is $199 here its $399. 200$ mark up that's sent from Singapore so is excluded from import tax and sales tax. Doesn't stop them from charging us it though.
They have also locked us out from importing it as it wont activate apparently with out using a proxy tunnel something or other.
I don't like windows either but I really have no other option as Mac's are like 2000$ for a low range base model.
Nerd rage over.
