This recently installed blocker.

This morning, quite randomly, I found ExtensionFair AdBlocker and installed it via chrome store. Again randomly drifted round some of my favourite sites and could see an improvement,

After a while, I experienced connecting to a messenger video chat, but from me and incoming. No doubt caused by this addition. I removed it to ensure my video call came through, however, no doubt there is an opportunity to white list messenger (and indeed anything else of my choosing). Is there?

    Which browser?

    In Chrome and Firefox most of us would tend to suggest uBlock Origin as the preferred Adblocker.

    +1 for uBlock Origin. I also use Ghostery.

    Ive now installed the ublock origin. Have to say, I don't recall seeing the origin name last time I used ublock.

    That's because the original author of uBlock forked it to become uBlock Origin.
    Don't ask - it's a Linux-type thing.
