I just noticed that mine has blocked 2167. That seems like a lot to me.

Let's have a contest. Who's got the most?

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

This computer only has 203. At home I think it's on several thousand, but I've turned off the count.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

I turned it off... I wonder if I can turn it back on??

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

I can. 1756. Meh. Not great.

Well, maybe if you'd stop going to THOSE sites....

... [Blushing]

That's funny.

Actually, it's mostly from CNN and ESPN. I check both of those several times a day.

I've only got 43. Maybe I should start going to "those" sites.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

4.

Posted by PurplePacker (Member # 6398) on :

Over 300. I love the thing [Smile]

4433. [Eek!]

Apparently, I should stop going to those sites!

Kayla, do you ever feel like this?

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

That happens to me all the time. [Wink]

Actually, you know, today someone was knocking on the door. I wasn't expecting anyone, of course, so I didn't answer it. They knocked again, and again, I ignored it. Then I hear my son say, "Mom, it's the second Wednesday of the month. The door is locked. Let me it." [Embarrassed]

I had forgotten that it was the second Wednesday of the month.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Uhh. Second Wednesday?

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Yeah, here they get out of school an hour and a half early on the second Wednesday of the month so teachers can. . . do whatever it is they do. Apparently, they are supposed to get together and "plan" or other stuff like that. At least they only do it once a month here. Our old school district did it every Wednesday.

1010 blocked

Well, it's more of a content filter, but my thing-that-blocks-both-popup-ads-and-inline-ad-content has blocked 41879 ads to date...

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

I guess I don't win then. 1277.

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

332!

Posted by slacker (Member # 2559) on :

I lost count, but when I was using IE it was well over 700.

Then again, I moved to the infamous FireFox and haven't had to deal with that or any other real annoyances (I also block inline ads and have to authorize flash objects).

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Not among the highest or the lowest. Heh. 779.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Kayla: Heh, I see. I was confused because you wrote 'it' instead of 'in' and I read it as "Let me get it" [Dont Know]

I'm weird...
