why are there so many ads on my facebook, youtube and yahoo? - Yeqi - 04-28-2014 03:17 AM
Before, non of the ads were there, but all of a sudden. All these random ads popped up. Some of them are videos on youtube.

Those websites make money from these adverts. Every time someone clicks on them they make some money.

Instead of ranting about google and facebook and how corrupt they are, I'm surprisingly going to suggest a solution. For google chrome, theres an extension in chrome webstore called, "AdBlock." This program, for free, will delete any ads or spam on a page. Facebook, youtube, and other sites are ad free for me. Enjoy!

The same thing has happened to me before! I searched the web, and I downloaded "Adblocker" which is free, and pretty trustworthy. However I use Google Chrome, so if you don't use the same browser you might need to look through a few more options. x Good luck, maybe add a few more details and I'll be able to help a bit better. (I.e type of browser you use)

1) Install Adblock Plus extension for Firefox, for blocking ads on all the major websites.
2) There is a Firefox extension (add-on) to hide advertisements on your Yahoo Mail and also expand the emails to your full screen. Just install this add-on:
Yahoo Mail Hide Ad Panel (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yahoomailhideadpanel/ )
