    A real blocking app

    Recently installed Ad Blocker. I turn it off on most pages as I tend to agree with the idea that people will stop supplying free content if they can get no reward for it, just leave it on for a few news sites that were so ad popup infested that they made the whole page slow. If everyone does the same hopefully we will get ads but they will be a bit less obtrusive.

    I was wondering if it is possible to develop a different sort of blocker where you could choose specific content or images to block, eg stop showing boring news about royal babies or place a pic of a lady's large bottom over any image of Jeremy Corbyn or Tony Blair.

    Sure the technology must be there. Get onto it Nick Fitz, fortune to be made.

          I'm not the only one who uses Adblocker in this way for the same reason then.
