    That's why you should configure your mail client to display emails in plain-text not HTML.

    I could but there are certain image based adverts that I want to see such as Newegg daily deals...and I am too lazy to try and find the setting for my web based email providers such as Yahoo mail and Gmail.

      Normally I'd say: "post it here: Bugs and Suggestions[^]" But now it's up in the lounge: @Chris-Maunder - this one's for you! :laugh:

      Well, its not really a bug or a suggestion. I just found it amusing.

        For my first line of defense, I use a HOSTS file that lists advert and malware sites I like to avoid. I will be adding this site to the list immediately. Originally, the HOSTS file with windows is about 128 bytes or so. Mine is now 620KB. Thanks for the warning. :)

        I use Ghostery in both Chrome and Firefox. It blocks most, if not all, trackers on the web pages I visit. As for Internet Explorer, I just don't use it for anything beyond making sure the current web projects load correctly on it.

              IIRC developermedia is a CP owned domain. Not sure if they use it for anything beyond their in house advertising dept.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                That's interesting. I did not know that.

                  For all my ad-blocking needs, I use [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/), running on a Linux VM that otherwise wouldn't be doing anything at all anyway. Bonus - it's network-wide and will filter ads equally for *all* devices.

                    That sounds pretty darn useful. I might just have to learn Linux just for that.

                      It's a good excuse to learn it. Ubuntu is ridiculously easy to install these days (especially in a VM), and installing Pi-hole itself is just a few trivial commands that are explained well enough, even for a newbie.
