Are adverts shooting themselves in the foot?
When they were simple straightforward clickable images I didnt really mind them being there
Now they eat all my download bandwidth, memory and cpu power, how long until I install an ad blocker?

I strongly recommend you install one now, your browsing experience will improve greatly.

If the management didn't want people to use ad-blockers, they wouldn't have turned the site into the unusable pigs breakfast of intrusive adverts and trackers that it currently is. Either that, or their greed vastly outweighs their business sense scratchchin

I have exceptions in uBlock for other websites I use that have a far more reasonable advert policies, but I feel no guilt at all in having everything switched on for PH.
