I recently downloaded adblock

The real reason I downloaded it is for youtube. Anyone without adblock will know as well as I do just how annoying the ads are that pop up 5 seconds into the video. I clicked "play" not "activate fade-in advert." Almost every video I watch there's a key part of the visual happening under the goddamned advert! What a great piece of software they have going on. Coupled with [url=https://www.ghostery.com/]ghostery[/url] (a tracking script blocker) It's amazing just how much crap is added to webpages. Have a look at the linked page with ghostery active. [url]http://venturebeat.com/2013/03/14/adblock-plus-secret-takedown/[/url] If google are so good at targeted advertising, why not do something about the statistic that every advert that I get I simply close? If I literally close every advert, why is this trend not acted upon? Irrelevant now I guess. GO ADBLOCK! Even here on Bungie those annoying social media buttons that pop up, get in the way, but don't pop down have gone. Does anyone have any suggestions for other privacy tools?

    B.net dark gets rid of those irritating facebook buttons below each post. I just got so sick of adverts being hidden in the recommended video section that I snapped and installed it. I've enjoyed a spam free, less risky (Viruses) and pleasant time on the internet ever since. It pissed me off that google's ads seemed to be 50/50 on links to malware. So yeah, they either need to clean up their act or they will remain blocked :D
