Aloha,

 

I have worked in IT all my life and I have never seen a site so junked up by ad's (almost all appear to be Google ad's). Even with my background, I find myself having to be super careful navigating the site. And it's a damn shame because the information here is beyond priceless. I would pay a nominal amount for an ad-free version of VJ without a second thought.

 

I am using the latest Edge. I also have the latest AdBlock plug-in. Nevertheless, I continue to get hammered. Has anyone had any luck circumventing these intrusions??

 

Mahalo,

           Bill and Dina

The correct forum for your question is the site-specific one, not this.  Maybe a mod will move it.  @Captain Ewok is the person to field inquiries about ads.

I see zero ad, but my blocker says it is blocking 15 on this page only.

We are toning things back a bit.  Esp the screen overlay frequency which Google turned on aggressively and automatically without informing us.

Thank you. I paid for AdBlock Plus and that helped some. The Google Ads are about the worst I've ever seen and they're popping up on more and more sites.

 

How did Google get so deeply engrained in VJ?

Ya, I'd love to get things here set at a good balance.  Google leans hard into 'auto optimizing'.  We only find out when folks report sometimes.  We have to keep the lights on (ad supported) but def understand the user side.
