| OpenDNS I use OpenDNS and when I looked at the statistics, nearly all of my top domains were ad sites. OpenDNS lets you easily block them though, and I did. So now every time I see an ad, I just look at the properties and add the domain to the block list. It's nice not having to deal with the ads anymore, and not having to have extra software on my PC is nice as well since OpenDNS servers handle the work for me. | |

| Re: OpenDNS I used a host list for a while, but some ads and ads companies can spread viruses, and some don't respond fast enough to DNS. The problem with ads is they are completely inconsiderate of the viewers. Especially ads with noise or just trashy. I use it specifically for that purpose. If ad companies realized that some people dont want to be annoyed but entertained, there would no reason for ad blockers.
