Adblock Plus Message
« on: 23 November 2017, 21:43:21 »
Out of the blue I'm getting a popup message from Adblock Plus.  :-\

It says:

Hide targeted messages?

This site has been known to to show targeted messages to Adblock Plus users.  Do you want Adblock Plus to hide targeted messages?

Yes

No

What kind of subliminal messages is TB using to brainwash us with?  :o

Could it be that he's really an ardent Brexiteer?  ???  :)

I'm actually getting pretty pissed off with the constant barrage of messages doing anything whatsoever on the internet.

Update this or that, acknowledge this or that, allow cookies this or that, security message this or that, allow access this or that . . . . . blah blah

I am seriously considering retreating into a hole and staying there. My life would be much more simple

The cookie thing is a legal requirement, to appease the do-gooders.

It's started on other sites as well so I'll withdraw my accusation TB.  :)

So what to do?

Click on yes or no.

Download something else to stop the pop up.

or

Uninstall Adblock as the pop up is more annoying than the adverts!  ::)
