Well, its not really a bug or a suggestion. I just found it amusing.

For my first line of defense, I use a HOSTS file that lists advert and malware sites I like to avoid. I will be adding this site to the list immediately. Originally, the HOSTS file with windows is about 128 bytes or so. Mine is now 620KB.

Thanks for the warning. Smile | :)

I use Ghostery in both Chrome and Firefox. It blocks most, if not all, trackers on the web pages I visit. As for Internet Explorer, I just don't use it for anything beyond making sure the current web projects load correctly on it.

For all my ad-blocking needs, I use Pi-hole, running on a Linux VM that otherwise wouldn't be doing anything at all anyway.

Bonus - it's network-wide and will filter ads equally for all devices.

That sounds pretty darn useful. I might just have to learn Linux just for that.

It's a good excuse to learn it. Ubuntu is ridiculously easy to install these days (especially in a VM), and installing Pi-hole itself is just a few trivial commands that are explained well enough, even for a newbie.

IIRC developermedia is a CP owned domain. Not sure if they use it for anything beyond their in house advertising dept.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
