I hate those ads. My daughter discovered that when she exercised in front of her computer, she started seeing gym ads, we tested it, and I randomly opened a dollar tree ad, and within a few hours I got dollar tree ads. We hope its a coincidence, but now we keep tape over the camera. lol
I will be glad to have a blocker!
.I just don't allow them these days until some guidelines can be forced on them.

Well I don't want to say it but how far are we from having to pay our ISPs a fee for certain content like cable? Idk would the companies band together and do this?

You mean like cable TV? Used to be you got cable to get away from all the commercials, now basic and extended basic are chock full of commercials. Paying the ISP for a ad-free experience is a great idea but ....business is business. No doubt the ISP's would end up taking your money and receive still more cash from the advertisers.

Right...honestly most successful companies I can't see wanting that anyway....but who's to say what "law" gets passed. Look at our laws already.
