| 2023-12-14 |  | | en | The RevContent ads were getting worse and worse. There were tons of ads for marijuana which I don't like but could ignore. But then the ads became nasty. Verging on pornography. I have kids in my house and do NOT want them seeing these images on my monitor, nor do I want my husband seeing the images. Porn is everywhere as it is; The last thing I want to do is invite that toxic garbage into my home. Anyway, this works! I can visit my favorite news blog without cringing. Edit: Nope. Doesn't work after all. It's RevContent that I'm getting bombarded with and the ads are DIRTY. I do not want this in my home. It's Gateway Pundit that I'm seeing the ads on. I have an adblock that I can use but then it blocks the X (Twitter) posts embedded in the articles. If you could get this working I will love you to death. |
