Turn off ads?
Hi everyone...notice the turn off ads thing on the right hand side for $5? Well, there is a simpler way to never have to see ads again while surfing the internet. You'll need to get the firefox web browser. After that, in the tools menu, there is something called add-ons. From that selection, you have the opportunity to type something. Well...use that opportunity to type: adblock. You'll be offered a number of add ons. Select adblock plus. When you install it, it will ask you to restart firefox. After firefox restarts, it will give you a number of choices for filters to use (it's kind of like a cat and mouse game between those who dislike ads and google). The list you want to select is Easy List USA. After that, enjoy ad free web browsing.
You can also submit the wiki as an educational wiki and wikispaces will turn the ads off for you. Scroll to the bottom, click on "upgrade" and follow the directions.- Done. You know what though...as a general observation, there is a certain something to be said for surfing the net free of advertisements.
