Yeah, the ads here are beginning to get to me too. When I track down their ad servers Ill post a workaround for all to see. Uwee-hee-hee.

I think it's innapropriate to have the botox ads tbh. What about the men/women who worry about their wrinkles? It's a bit exploitative.

ads.pubmatic.com
ads.pubmatic.org
m1.2mdn.net
m2.2mdn.net
2mdn.net

Open "HOSTS" [x:\windows\, /etc/hosts]

Remap the previous servers to address 127.0.0.1

Now whenever your computer gets a request for that "named" server it should get bounced to the local computer [127.0.0.1]... this should theoretically work...

Okay... Im assuming most of you are on WindowzZzzZzzzZzzZZZZzzz....

So Im not sure *quite* what directory it's in.... But navigate to C:\WINDOWS and hit ctrl-F to find a file... Search for all files and folders [including hidden ones, check advanced options] for a file called "HOSTS"... Open it with just notepad... or something similar... a very basic editor...

Inside you should see shit *SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME* as this:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ads.pubmatic.com
127.0.0.1 ads.pubmatic.org
127.0.0.1 m1.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 m2.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 spe.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ads.doubleclick.net

This file *manually* tells your computer what server name resolves to what IP address. It's format is:

[IP ADDRESS] [DNS NAME]

So what we do...

*pause for maniacal laughter*

is map all the ad servers to the unchangeable network loopback address also known as 127.0.0.1 ... or localhost....

So we tell the computer that itself is the adserver... Of course your computer is *not* an adserver- so it just shows up blank... or possibly as a broken image link... depending on your browser.

You have to keep up with an ever growing list though... But if you keep up with it... yeah, it won't display ads.
deleted_user

Oh yeah, clear out the internet cache as well- they hide in there and can display even once blocked by hosts... keep this on top of stuff... for people who dislike ads-

it works.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
