    On most other industry news sites, my computer falls under immediate attack from malware and ads and worthless flash which covers the page. its Worst than even dirty sites!! Sounds start playing, a garbage instantly moves on top of the link I wished. Thank you codeproject for having a clean page, not a shockwave flash trap of computer death.

          I use IE for browsing and I have Chrome set up to disable javascript and some sites I view in Chrome for this very reason, and it's almost always news sites or any other kind of content-focussed site. I've got quite good and looking at a url and predicting that I should open it in Chrome.

              Yeah, but now that the 35 sites he chose to go to before CP are more usable for him, he won't come back here. We're out of cookies. We were relying on his subscription money.

                            Do NOT do this. This is stealing content without giving them the advertising revenue they need to survive as a business. It is no different than torrenting CD.

                                        On most other industry news sites, my computer falls under immediate attack from malware and ads and worthless flash which covers the page. its Worst than even dirty sites!! Sounds start playing, a garbage instantly moves on top of the link I wished. Thank you codeproject for having a clean page, not a shockwave flash trap of computer death.

                                        Flashblock, AdBlock Plus and some sites in hosts... I rarely see ads anymore, even in YouTube videos. Hosts is for the crappy sites sponsorised by Google, such as ask and softonic.

                                          I'm always bang-on at deciding when to open sites in Edge. When I need to download Chrome.

                                          Meanwhile that other browser is crying in the corner because nobody wants to play :D

                                          Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.
