Et Tu Yahoo?

I accidently turned off my pop-up killer this morning, and noticed that even Yahoo is running those stupid pop-up ads now.


If you surf the web as much as I do, you should be running something extra to help cut all the crap out of sites you don\’t want to deal with.


Below I have links to a bunch of handy dandy little programs that block ads and cookies, and kill those annoying pop-up ads that seem to be everywhere.

If you\’re not already running something, give one a try, they are all free, and really make things much nicer.
If you know of others, feel free to tack them on to the list!

These are all Windows programs. I\’ll do a Mac list soon. If you run Linux, I\’ll just assume you\’re smart enough to know about this stuff already.


You can save yourself the time of telling me these ads are what keep everything free on the web, I already know that.


They have the right put them up, and I have the right to knock them down.


When I watch TV I always change the channel during commercials, and hopefully, there is no one tracking what I watch. Unfortunatly web pages are full of ads, and cookies and web bugs can track your every move online.
