Remove YouTube, Facebook, and Other Annoying Ads

Leave a reply

Is it just me or are those YouTube video commercials they play before a video super long and annoying? Some are 5 minutes long and the actual video I’m trying to see is only 3 minutes. Trying to see that new music video on Vevo and have to sit through some dumb irrelevant commercial? It’s annoying and I set out to block them.

Fear no longer! I’ve found the solution. Introducing, adblock plus! It’s a plugin for Google Chrome and it’s also available for other popular browsers like Firefox. As the name would suggest, it’s meant to block ads. It gathers a list of all the URLs websites use to display ads and blocks them from being loads by the browser which means you will never see ads online again! I’ll spare you all the technical details just now that it works perfectly! It even blocks that Sponsored section on Facebook.

My first thought when people complain about the new ads on Facebook is “There’s ads on facebook?” I never see them so I have to keep reminding myself that there is. 😉 It even blocks those annoying popups when visiting shady websites. So go to adblockplus.org and download the plugin now. It’s 2012, you shouldn’t be bothered with ads online!

HBO’s Girls + Song Of The Week: The Royalty – Bartender

So HBOs show Girls has become my new favorite show. The first few weeks I didn’t know what to think about the show but after watching more I became in love with it. It talks about young college graduates trying to figure out life in a fun and quirky way.

The show talks about real women issues and it wouldn’t be an HBO show without a lot of sex which is a plus! haha. I was kind of appalled at the in your face issues and the way these characters handled them but after I got used to it I wanted more and boy did I get it! This show leaves me wanting more each week.

It’s written and directed by Lena Dunham who also plays Hannah, the main character on the show. Hannah is the girl me I swear. Also stars Alison Williams, daughter of Bryan Williams, who is great on the show and an absolute beauty to watch! Not to mention this weeks episode where she makes out with a beautiful blonde 🙂

Click here to check out the trailer for HBO’s Girls which shows you what the shows all about. The show is new and different from all the other shows out there now. Look forward to watching it every sunday night! Watch it on HBO Go if you haven’t checked it out yet.

My song of the week this week is by The Royalty which is a new band signed to Victory Records. They’re a breathe of fresh air from all the bubble gum pop that’s usually all we ever hear (not that I’m complaining, I love pop too). Some songs like How I like Em sort of sound like Amy Winehouse which is why I love this band and the whole album is spectacular. You must check it out! Watch the video for their single Bartender below and check them out on Twitter @theroyalty and iTunes!
