07:53 – One of the first things I did when I was setting up my Kindle Fire HD last November was install Adblock Plus, despite the large number of one-star reviews. Many of those one-star comments said pretty much the same thing: AdBlock Plus on a desktop/notebook system was great, but on Android it was crap. They were right. After eight months of suffering frequent proxy server failures, I finally decided just to put up with the ads, so I uninstalled AdBlock Plus. It can’t be fixed, and the fault lies with Google rather than AdBlock Plus.
So now I’m seeing ads, and I’m making a point of clicking on lots of them, just to cost the advertisers money for no return. Not only will I never buy anything from one of those ads, but I’m keeping a mental list of which companies are placing those ads so I’ll remember not to buy from them under any circumstances.
More work on science kits today.
