What would happen...

Thanks to MFP I'm constantly reminded of where I've been surfing on the internet. What would happen if we disabled cookies and browsed in private. Would MFP be ad free?

BTW, for some reason I never see any advertisements promoting XVideos dot com....Hmmm

    Ad blocker is your friend.

    Also, if you're viewing Xvideos on a regular basis, you might want to invest in some good tube socks. Nothing like getting that all over your keyboard...

    Just use Google Chrome as your browser and turn on the AdBlock feature. Gets rid of pop-ups and those annoying ads that come before video clips, too.

    What ads? Are you kidding? They are everywhere on here. Look around at the ads and your will find they are related to where you've been on the internet. The ads are on the tops of the pages and the sides of the pages and on your home page as well as every other pages you have.
  • Yeah, I don't see ads either? Do you have toolbars installed on your browser maybe?

    I don't have any ads on computer. But I do have them on my tablet and phone app. So yes, mfp can be add free. I wish I knew how I got rid of them, so I could get them off my tablet.

    Actually I did and they still track...
    Either you people work for MFP or you are lying cuz ads are how they fund the website...no ads...no website. I don't expect MFP to not have ads but I don't like ads that reflect my web browsing...

    I assure you I am not lazy...take a look at my exercise history. *wink*...no need to be rude..I have no ads as well...could be my work firewall filters them though as I am currently enjoying some MFP time and being paid for it.. :happy:

    Probably some ppl have higher security settings on their firewall, I installed an extension for Chrome called Ad Block and they are gone.

    I get ads for a cereal I don't eat, in a language I don't speak, and for dog food. I don't have any pets. I've never searched any of these things. *Said in Dalek voice:* Explain!

    You People was a reference to those who did not see any banner ads. Whether or not you saw ads, I have no idea...If the shoe fits then wear it.

    You may not mean it that way, but this post came across to me as very rude when all he did was ask you a question...I guess I am one of "those people" as I do not see any ads at all...now I'm with the other woman who said she gets them on her ipad...I do see them there, but not when I'm on PC. I use Google Chrome for my browser and am not set to browsing in private...so not sure if my work filters block them then? :flowerforyou:

    Ad Block Plus

    They are sent to you and are processed....It just doesnt display them to you.

    Win for MFP and for you.... not so much for the advertisers of Raspberry Ketones

    Some of us people have probably installed ad blocker so that we never have to deal with annoying banner ads while we peruse the interwebz.

    >everyone in the thread says they don't experience ads and you are the only person experiencing this
    >"you are all lying or work for MFP"

    This has got to be a joke, right?

    Either way if we're not getting them and you are then something has gone wrong on your end, bud.
    Look up adblock? Idk what else to suggest.
