    I use adblocker and I open 50 tabs (yes, 50) then, while vids are doing their thing, I open main mse comp page and either tick the red cross or bookmark them. After a while I go back and close the 50 tabs down - so I'm still doing something productive while the vids are going.

    I have each comp open in a separate tab and, before I installed AdBlocker, I used to just mute the sound and click 'submit' and then switch to the next page and click 'submit' and switch again. By the time I'd submitted for each comp, the first one's video had finished, so I'd just go back and close the pages one at a time.

    Now I have an adblocker, it's even quicker - speed-comping!

    That's the way I always used to do it too, pre-adblocker! It was a pretty quick system once I got used to it, but it's MUCH quicker now with no ads!!

    I also now use adblocker but before I did I hated the one with the woman sticking a plaster in her mouth - even the thought of it now makes me shudder

    I've been using Adblock plus , It can be installed on various browsers. and can be disabled easily via the tool bar button for those forms that don't display.
