    Urghh, the latest one with the swell of music, and something about being dropped on a kid is even worse.

    Thing is, I’ve no idea what ANY of them are for. And that’s after being forced to listen to or watch them. So, as adverts, they’re worse than bad.

    @dottigirl – ABP is

    @dottigirl – ABP is customizable: you can enabe or disable on a site or specific page, you can set filters to allow specific types of ads through, or select an element (ad) you wish to block and let the rest through.

    When I first come to roadcc I may disable ABP, look at the ads, then enable ABP.

    I was trying to avoid using Adblock or similar as I recognise road.cc have got to generate some income from somewhere. Plus, I do click on the odd ad, if it’s tempting enough.

    But, I’ve just spent five minutes holding the mouse button down to read a couple of articles, and my finger hurts now. I’ll be installing it later.
