Adverts are everywhere. And they try to get your focus at all prices. I hate that. Even these days, that in theory they send you proper tailored adverts matching your needs, I get annoyed… because actually you just get SPAM.
Moreover, in Internet we have something that I call “soft SPAM“, that basically doesn’t sell you anything but disturb your focus. I’m speaking, for example, about the “Who to follow” block in twitter or “Recommended pages” in facebook. It might be useful when you create a new account, but it is totally disturbing in your normal live activity.
Do you want to remove the “who to follow” block on Twitter? Just use Addblock (a plugin for Firefox, Chrome, etc that you MUST have) and create a new filter, with the following line:
twitter.com##div.js-recommended-followers
In case you want to remove Facebook’s “Recommended friends/pages” block, just use:
facebook.com##div.ego_section
After that, you live will be a bit easier 😉
I think I’ve got adblock in my brain pre installed… ^_^
Give me a copy of that!
