One that runs on iMacs?
Things are out of control with the auto-load ads and videos.
Thanks in advance!

Whoever it was - thank you.

(51,122 posts)It's an ancient, dying technology that fuels ads. Even Adobe (its owner) is winding it down.

If you really need Flash to watch a video once in a while, download Chrome (Flash built in) and use it specifically for that purpose.

(1 post)I highly recommend uBlock Origin for Firefox. It has the lowest memory and CPU footprint of any adblocker. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?src=ss

(9,106 posts)A lot of good suggestions. I need to do something - it's out of hand.

(18,470 posts)I'm the kind who is somewhat willing to live with ads but if they're not willing to let me set it so I don't see assholes in the ads I receive then the hell with it, I'll just block all of them.
