Same, with ad blocking to boot.


had to turn my dns adblocking off after it would break certain (admittedly shoddily-written) web apps


Why not just whitelist certain hostnames?


It can be tricky with certain sites to track down the correct domains to whitelist without giving a whole swath of ad domains the keys to the kingdom. Getting weather.com working was a bit of a bear in this regard (I know the information they present is available elsewhere ad-free, but I find the way they package that information convenient and I'm nothing if not lazy).
