Firefox with NoScripts and AdBlock addons work for me.
I only get to see about 25% of web content due to this strict filtering though....

Think of all the poor blokes out there who'll suddenly be bombarded with a barrage of appropriately-targeted ads for x-rated sites based on previous hours of "doing some work in the study, love".

Phorm will be buying your past and present browsing behaviour info from your ISP soon, if not already. BT have been doing this since July, denying it at the time, Talk Talk and Virgin Media to follow.
This is packaged rosily as 'Webwise', to protect you (aww bless) from nasty sites out there, and to stop all that horrid advertising... from being untargeted and irrelevant to you, that is.
Apparently you can opt out - which simply installs a different type of cookie to 'tell our system to ignore that computer'. Opting out takes some doing, the link is buried in the privacy policy, here.
Nice of them to ask us.Tags: None
