For anyone who might be interested. I downloaded this a few months ago (feel like i was the last to know about it! lol )

No more annoying ads or pop ups on any page i visit. There's a tracker you can leave on your toolbar that shows how many ads it's blocking on each website. For example LL shows 2 (7 on the intro page). Now there's a blank spot at the top of the page instead of ads or banners. Was nice to see them all disappear from yahoo news page etc too.

Yes, it's suitable for people who use the web a lot and prefer not to be bombarded by advertisement and pop ups. With over 300 million downloads, i'm surprised i hadn't known about it sooner. Enjoy!

Interesting T. It doesn`t track you? It might help dial up service load much quicker so I might give it a go

Hi Juni! Yeah, give it a go. I think it helped load pages quicker for me. Makes sense, less info to download = quicker loading, i believe.

I use it, too, although it sometimes shuts itself down.
