Did I tell you I’ve got frequently used bits of technology?
You’d KIND of worked that out, I know that much.
t any rate, I’ve bits of technology kit I rely on: I prefer Macs, notably. I use a lot of USB flash drives, as well.
I also make use of
AdBlock Plus, a web-browser extension that does what it says on the tin: blocks adverts.
I love it, I should say. It means I get a reassuring amount of blank space on websites: that would otherwise be occupied by irritating ads.
So I was rather pleased to see the company behind the extension has had some good news. Recently, it’s revealed a browser for Android phones: as Google have dropped it from the Google Play store.
Slightly less recently? They’ve won a court case in Germany that means the three companies who were suing them. And who took several positions: ONE of which was that AdBlock Plus violated freedom of the press. (The companies who sued are newspapers.)
Personally? Well, personally, I think that’s a bit silly. Yes, there’s freedom of the press.
But there’s also a user’s right to not have adverts thrown at him!
