Short blog on Janey’s behalf.

Janey said in a comment she was trying to send me a PM. I replied in a comment with the 'things' (don't know the words for them - they begin with https) for adblockers. She probably isn't able to see it,

Here they are and maybe you could give them to her Sheila

You just download them and they are totally free and block all ads for me.

I must say the ads are becoming very tedious ..They have increased in size too.

Why don't you instal an adblocker Meadowland ? I never see adverts on GoY or any other forums.

I have tried the ones you suggest Hywel ...they don't seem to be free unless I'm doing something wrong.

I have Adblock plus like Hywel and it costs nothing.I've had it for years. No adverts at all. Now and again, every few months, a pop up from them will ask if you want to make a donation. That's it really.

Oh,that has given me encouragement to try again..thank you Thorneyside.

I THINK that downloading them gives them access to your contacts on your computer. But I’m not techy, so could easily be mistaken!

Thanks Hywel for your help … I’ve passed the links to Janey. 🤞 x

They are free Meadowland, try again.
I'm not aware they have access to anything private, they just block ads on the page you're looking at.

Will do Hywel. Thanks.

I do not believe that all computers and programs allow people just click on the link.
I have a feeling that some people do not know how to high lite the link and copy it and then just go to "search" in another window and "paste" it. They also have to know how to paste it.
I would recommend to go to "Google search" and just type AdBlock and then click on their site showed just below.
After that ...there is a big red bar which says "Ad a block now" which they must click on to download it..

Success! It has worked..thanks Hywel.

That's good Meadowland ! :)

Thanks for that advice too Klahanie, people will find it very helpful :)

I have tried this on my chrome book but it will not accept it so have to put up with the adverts now!

Rose, perhaps this one will work better than the others. I don't have a Chrome Book so I can't say if it will but I've used this programme for for years than I can remember & it works very well & has never given me any problems. It's called

https://adblockultimate.net/

There are 2 buttons on the page to download it & with a click or two it should work on any browser.

This is one that designed for Chrome browser so it shouldn't be a problem on a Chrome Book laptop.

Filehippo is a software & PC programmes sharingsite which I get most of my updates from & it has never caused me any problems.

Balcony, I have tried adblockultimate & others & they don’t seem to work on my Apple IPad. I get all the ads in between the photos in peoples’s blogs, so just have to skip past them. At least I can see everything. However sometimes when I’ve tried to log into somewhere other than GoY, I get a message saying I have an Adblock in place, will I remove it first! I don’t understand this, as I get ads everywhere. Perhaps Apple doesn’t want people to block ads, I don’t know, completely in the dark!

Thanks Balcony, I will try this.

I'm sorry to hear that, FF, but as I have never used an Apple computer nor phone nor tablet I have no idea what works on them or even how to use them! :(

Hope it works better for you, Rose! :)

Just today my wife got a new laptop & I've spent a lot of time helping her to configure it. I installed the 2 adblockers I mention here on her computer, in Firefox, & everything works perfectly - no trouble at all! :)
