Audiogon has gone too far, too fast with the ads!!!
I enjoy this site and completely understand and support their monetizing it more with ads, but it’s gone too far, too fast IMHO. First it ran far too slowly, which they thankfully have improved, but we’re still left with ads popping up all over the place to the point of being overly intrusive, distracting, and annoying at least in my experience. Past that, and even worse, if I try to post a response longer than a few sentences the site often refreshes and I lose what I’ve written, and that’s even with me proactively saving it as I’m typing (it happened twice while I typed this!!!) — this rarely happened before the advertising deluge. I just wish they’d back it off a bit at least until they can work out whatever limitations are causing these frequent and very frustrating issues. Or maybe it’s just me?
I've been on Brave for about 6 years. I've forgotten that Youtube has ads. I used Firefox with all sorts of extensions or whatever they call them including Ublock Origin No Script. Tried all sorts of configurations. Brave worked/works better than all of that almost straight out of the box. I stopped using Windows in 2019. I absolutely loathe that forced hijacking of my computer by that OS. I'm 100% certain that Windows by design hampers the use of privacy based browsers and apps. |
I’ve had the same experience with Brave as theophile. I also agree with migrating away from Windows. My daily driver still runs Win 10, but it’s going to be my last Windows system. My other boxes all run Linux. |
@devinplombier I just got an email from Malwarebytes that Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows 10 so no more virus updates, etc., just in case you hadn’t heard. |
