Wasted Bandwidth

Glance at the bottom left hand corner of your browser when logging onto most commercial websites and you may be astonished to see the number of sites flickering through as you wait for the requested page to load.

This is cross site scripting whereby your browsing habits are reported to numerous websites without your knowledge or permission and advertisements are loaded from third party sites. For those with unlimited bandwidth and broadband this is merely an irritation and an invasion of privacy, for those with a fixed monthly limit on downloads and worse a dial up connection it is a severe nuisance. For those with a fixed monthly limit it may even result in increased bills.

There is a solution - Use the Firefox browser coupled with two add ons. AdBlocker and NoScript

Both of the above Firefox addons significantly increase your security and browsing speed whilst removing unwanted advertising.
