wcstorm11 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have several nexus pages tabbed up in my browser, and every time I open it, I get the ferociously annoying Shaiya ad, with its very loud music. I then have to search through all of my tabs to mute it every time I want to look at a page. It really is horrible. Please have the ad muted by default!

ub3rman123 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Good lord, another talking ad? You're right, they're extremely annoying; it's just very hard to track down specific ads, as a company just gives the Nexus a whole pack of ads, and Nexus doesn't deal with the ad creators directly, from what I understand.

Alkser Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If you are using Opera/Chrome/Firefox you can ADBLOCK that ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiries Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 NOSCRIPT Haven't seen an ad on the Nexus in about two years. Remember those free Ipod ads? Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes, but do be aware that in blocking ads on the site you are depriving the site of the ad revenue it needs to maintain services. It's best to just screenshot and report on ads which are particularly bad instead of just blocking them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually though I don't remember that AdBlock is on, and not seeing ads doesn't really mean anything to me since I've been using AdBlock since.. forever. I understand though, you guys still need money to run the site. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Block Flash. Problem solved. And less obnoxious ads still get through. :biggrin: ...considering there is currently an unpatched remote execution (read: pwns your computer) vulnerability in Flash, blocking it is a very, very good idea. Donating or purchasing a premium membership is also a very very good idea. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneyLogic Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Firefox + NoScript + Adblock makes browsing way more securebut maybe a little more unconvenient, since you'll have to allow several scripts manually to use the content you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XunAmarox Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 You don't need NoScript, you could just use Adblock Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
