Nasty! - perchpile2 - 01-19-2014
I'm sorry, but would someone "please" remove that picture of those nasty, ugly toenails from my computer screen!!?? How can a person read about fishing and eat a snack, with that picture right next to important stuff? I wonder how deep that ugly hole goes, in that big toenail? Yuck!

Run firefox or chrome and download adblock plus, you'll never have to see another ad again!

[quote fish_or_die]Run firefox or chrome and download adblock plus, you'll never have to see another ad again![/quote]This is true. Firefox works much better than explorer anyway. At least for me.

yeah, it also blocks ads from Pandora and most video sites like history.com! I love it!

I prefer google chrome. It's one of the fastest internet web browser that I have use.
For sure explore is garbage.

Google chrome is Awesome. Also the ads you are seeing are based in your browsing history usually. I have been looking up a lot f golf clubs lately, guess what ad is to the left of this box as I type this? That's right an ad for callaway golf.

I just wish BFT would just get rid of all these time wasting pop up opportunistic ads like all the other forums and just make a sponsor page for those who care.
It would definitely speed things up and no more unwanted bs.

I was really just kind of joking about the nasty toenail add. The closest thing I've come to in looking up nasty toenails, was I looked at a pair of overboots. I do know they target you anytime you look at something. Thanks for all the good advise on getting rid of adds though. Good Fishing Everyone!

Toenails? What are you looking at for those to pop up?
I actually found somewhere for google to change your ads. Can't remember where, I think it was on the weather page I look at. Clicked an x to close it or something and there was a menu or something. I opened it and it had my demo correct if I remember right. Regardless, I changed myself to a 70 year old woman or something and other stuff I can not quite remember and now I got nutri system ads, (Marie looking good) vacuums, womens swim suits, (not the mens board shorts I may have looked at before but the same place) dating sites with different come ons than before, and other stuff. Some of the stuff I search out on backcountry or amazon or wherever still shows up but also stuff from the same site that I never looked at it or would have no interest in. It kind of evolved.
Geez, what I will do to follow my curiosity and entertain myself at times but this internet thing is pretty amazing all the same. I have heard the ad blockers work well but I haven't bothered yet tho Chrome does seem much smoother than IE for sure.

It's always amazing. They know every move we make. And some of us wonder if big brother is watching.
