Google’s Chrome ad blocking arrives tomorrow and this is how it works
As the internet matures into the de facto way we now view and acquire our news, some news sources are no longer providing free access. This is particularly true of newspapers who have seen their print circulation and ad revenue declining. I have no problem with this and subscribe to a couple myself. However there are some sites that are loaded with pop up ads and auto play ads that are particularly annoying. I have given up on finding out anything on the Weather channel's website other than current temperature and weather conditions for my area.
Starting tomorrow 02/15/18, Google's Chrome introduces new ad blocking technology to help better your browsing experience.
"The ad blocker itself will show up in Chrome’s address bar on the desktop (similar to a pop-up blocker icon), and on mobile a small prompt at the bottom of the screen will show that ads are blocked on a site. Both desktop and mobile users will have the option to allow ads on a site that’s automatically blocked. Google says that the aim of the ad blocker is to improve web ads, and that 42 percent of sites that were failing the Better Ads standards have resolved their issues already."

Browser options, more that you think.
Everyone is aware of the 3 major browsers used for surfing the internet but did you know that there are many more choices available for use? Besides Internet Explorer, Chrome and FireFox there is Tor (notable for the Dark Web use), Yandex, Dooble and more. A client was even using one called the "Crazy" browser when we first met.
