I say put real advertisers at the top, people we want to support, so we always know where to find their stuff. Fighting underarm bulge is important, but this isn't the venue for it.

Guess I'm a liar, thought I'd get used to them and just work around the ads, no dice, too much clutter. I'll stop in every now and then, but this tab is getting closed.
I do not reply to posts with horrific grammar errors.

I do not reply to posts concerning the case mouth dent.

JJ, add blocker makes a big difference on my PC. Not so much on android, maybe give that a try.

Firefox x/Adblock. I just see this ad (always the same one) between the first and second posts in a thread. Not bad. Given up on the phone, though.

Since the ads seem to be based on browser history, I don't think you had much trouble with that before. :mrgreen:
