AdTrap Aims To Block All Internet Advertising In Hardware

cylonlover writes "AdTrap is a new low-power, zero configuration device which promises to banish adverts from computers, tablets, and anything else connected to the local network. AdTrap's creators point out that their device works not only with full-sized PCs, but everything else connected to your home internet, such as Apple devices running iOS 6 – and without the need of third-party apps or jailbreaking. In addition to blocking web browser ads, AdTrap is also reported to remove ads from streaming devices like Apple TV and Google TV. A configurable 'whitelist' is offered too, so that users can allow adverts on websites of their choice."

This is why I place ads on the main page of my websites and you can only view content from the popups.

That sounds like zero websites I visit more than once.

It's an Android app that takes any input text and randomly capitalizes and bolds fragments, inserts random punctuation, and then adds large lists of /. internal links to the end.

adservers that lag and wont let the site load. And when they do load, see above. So many flash adds that they crash a browser, or make it unworkable. obnoxious, grating, irritating ads.

Come now, let's not bash Slashdot too badly.

What's wrong with expertsexchange.com? If I was in the market for a sex change, I'd want an expert, not some noob.

What are you talking about? Most of the websites I go to have ads with naked women in them.
