[If you have a windows PC Use Firefox as your browser and set up Ad blocker as offered. (I use win 8.1 no problem )
I see no Ads at all on this site and very very few on any others such as BT etc.]


I started to use Firefox a few months ago, and have no problem with it, and have added AdBlock, but I was reluctant to remove I.E in case I wanted to go back to it for some reason unknown at the time of changeover, so it still lurks somewhere on my computer - except - when I sign in to PPRuNe ,then it opens in I.E. with no command from me ! Plus Ads.


Can I safely kick I.E. into touch, or does Windows Hate Point One need it for some reason ? e.g. I've been told that Windows needs the thrice-accursed SkyDrive ( now OneDrive) to work properly, and if I did succeed in ditching SkyDrive - not easy apparently - I would create all sorts of problems, and don't want to fall into that trap by removing I.E. unnecessarily.


Ignorance is only Bliss sometimes !
