AdBlock

When I got my new tablet I was astonished at the proliferation of adverts on my favourite sites and decided to install AdBlock. Alas no longer available from Play Store so had to get it from the online site after changing my settings to permit other sources. I was able to install okay, set my wifi to go to port 2020 rather than 8080, and surfed on happily.

But all was not perfect. I know some sites 'prefer' AdBlock not to be used. I had serious problems on YouTube, very slow and difficult to use. F1 Official has a way of disabling AdBlock, and will disable it again if you re-enable. Somebody somewhere managed to kill the AdBlock ad reference file, and I had to use an alternative until the standard one reloaded. All rather much of a hassle.

Now I've simply given up, have uninstalled AdBlock, and am putting up with the adverts. Wimp, or what?
