Just Bluehell. Sites like Yahoo serve ads using your login and they
just embed them. What happens is some sites depend on several servers
to fill ads and an ad server is overloaded it delays the page load. CBS
didn't care for a long time about ad blocking on Linux. They did on
Windows. So if you were watching or recording a show on their site with
Bluehell on it just skipped the ads. ;-)
BTW, one 3-4 minute ad break on broadcast TV pays for the episode.
Everything else is just gravy. Hence they can afford to play shorter
ads on streaming. If you watch anything on CW on Hulu you'll notice
they have all short breaks because their demographic is younger and
won't watch at all if there are long ad breaks. Hulu complains if you
block ads on the site but they will still serve some commercials.
Apparently some ads are targeted and others not. The drug ads are
really a joke.
One hour TV shows are actually 44 minutes of show. They are written as
six acts so there are usually six ad breaks. Hulu will often put 3 long
breaks and then often three 15 second ones. The long breaks are often
no longer than a minute and a half or half of what you get on broadcast TV.

Did you replace AdBloc with Bluehell, or do you use both?

The easiest way to skew your online profile is to use Google as a
dictionary and encyclopedia. Apparently they never figured on people
doing that but I wind up looking up things that I have absolutely no
interest in buying. Hence by profile is worthless. :-D
I also installed BlueHell Firewall on Firefox which can easily be
turned off and on. There were a few sites I regularly visited where
their ad scripts would hang the browser or ad delivery be so late that
as I was typing in a reply on a forum the focus would get taken away
from the message pane. Very annoying. Now some sites won't deliver
you content if an ad blocker is on. There are other sites who know how
to embed ads even with the ad blocker on. And CBS now won't play a
video with the ad blocker on.
I've experimented with ads on my sites and the reality is that you
will only get about 2% will even click on an ad thus producing
revenue. But with the bankstas crushing the world into poverty people
are desperate for any revenue they can get.

I hate this trend that I'm sure advertisers just love of signing in
to one account (like, HuffPo) by using another (facebook). I've last
facebook since they're just another arm of Madison Avenue and the

site is good enough to warrant my membership, I will just give them a
unique username and a unique password (thank you, Lastpass) and
register it with my throw away email address.
What I don't like is when they ask for extra information like friend
lists. Couldn't be any more blatant could they?
There's probably some algorithm running that puts you all on
advertisers hot lists but how much use am I to them? And I used to
regularly do google searches on things like lawnmowers and geriatric
commodes and see how fast my targetted adverts on Facebook would
change. Putting a false age and sex helps confuse it too. I was a 100
year old Sikh woman when I joined Facebook and got some highly odd
adverts that I didn't follow up.
I finally I got fed up with adverts interrupting videos and installed
the Chrome adblock add-on. The net is just about perfect now. I'm
surprised it's even legal.
I'm considering creating a false ID for online use with fake name and
other demographics and run it through a VPN exiting in Sweden instead
of the US. Use it from a machine where I change the mac address
daily and the browser is run in a virtual machine hosting a Linux distro.
