[aklug] Re: Speed up the internet

I think I will try Robert's suggestion.

I haven't tried adblock+, but what I've run into in the past with
adblock products is that with some websites, if you block the ads the
website doesn't load. I got tired of having to turn adblocking on & off
and got rid of it altogether.
