Is there a program fro that?

Per first commenter, there is - http://adnauseam.io/ (http://adnauseam.io/)

I might have to try this sometime.   ::evilbat::

I could (almost) get with the ad-nauseam thingie if they would only shuttle it to a dead zone so that it would never intrude on my happy place.

And I do still manually do a gargoyle search every morning that includes the words "obama" "degenerate" "pedophile" and one curse word chosen at random ;')

I installed it. We'll see how it goes.

Heh, I guess 'Soup and myself and probably others haven't exactly hid ourselves from Overseer's!   ::evil::

Still, anything to muck up the works seems like fun to me.

Meanwhile I'll await the initial review by Alan.

Roughly 12 hrs and I can't tell any difference using Firefox. But then again, I'm not sure it's working.

OK, I found out it works better if you actually turn it on. ::unknowncomic::

I guess it does it's job of confusing NASA by clicking on every friggin ad on every page you pull up. BUT, it slows down my browser. Depending what I have open, it can slow it down A LOT.

It also tells me a lot about some of the sites I frequent. It gives you a running total of ads it clicks on any particular page. For instance, here I get none. The bass fishing site I frequent gives a couple. The Harley forum I go to gets an AVERAGE of 14-16 per page. Bummer.

The aggravating part of the program comes to my email. I usually keep my email open any time I have the browser open so I can keep up with any items that need attention. The problem lies with Yahoo. It keeps accumulating ads to the point it locks up my web browser. It starts innocent enough with 4-8 ads, but grows to 70+ clicks.

So it comes down to personal preference. It works according to plan, but in some cases it can cramp your surfing style.

Yeah, maybe something only to run while you are idle and when you are actually doing something suspend it.

Good test and break down Alan.   ::thumbsup::

Another addendum. The thing locks up my browser occasionally, so I finally turned it off.

I'm probably on the list, anyway. ::unknowncomic::
