    Sadly the ink doesn't come off, so I've stopped it, I use bum friendly paper now, 
    There's a bleach for that.

    Daily Mail Money pages carry some good stories.  But he page is almost unusable for me now because of the pop-up ads.  Very reminiscent of pron sites 20 years (speaking for a friend).

    Thanks, but I do use ADP.  For me Daily Mail stopped rendering for me unless I disabled it for that site a while back.  Maybe I'll try again.  The reality is I stopped visiting it when they did that!  Thanks again.

    Don’t know if this is any use to you:-

    DailyMail online won’t run on my Win-10 laptop using Google Chrome, MS Edge or Firefox unless AdBlock Plus is disabled.

    However, DailyMail online runs perfectly (ad-free) using Google Chrome, MS Edge or Firefox with UBlock Origin active.

    @Biggus_Dickus, does cashback via TopCashback and Quidco still work when you have UBlock Origin enabled?

    Sorry,...not sure;...I’ve not made any ‘qualifying’ purchases for a while. I would have been  using AdBlock Plus  the last time I purchased an item that generated cashback from TCB. I don’t use Quidco that often.

    Does uBlockOrigin interfere with TCB/Quidco  tracking s/w?

    Don’t know if the following will be of any interest:

    TopCashBack :...no problems logging-in etc using Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

    However, TCB detects ‘uBlock Origin’ using Firefox and Edge but it is easily dismissed.

    Using Chrome, TCB doesn’t flag that ‘uBlock Origin’ is running.  

    Quidco:...no problems logging in etc using Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

    Furthermore, regardless of which browser is used, Quidco doesn’t detect ‘uBlock Origin’.

    I use a HP  laptop with all latest win-10 updates installed.
