| 1425334 | 2016-09-02 23:09:00 | Recently, I have become inundated with on screen ads when running SpeedTest. I have Adblock Plus running on my PC. What/how settings do I need to change to remove these persistent ads? |

| 1425338 | 2016-09-03 02:52:00 | I stopped using add-block a couple years back for a variety of reasons Using Ghostery on FF I see no adds at all - both here or Speed test |

| 1425342 | 2016-09-03 07:17:00 | have a look at the Brave browser, I hear good things about it but haven't had time to try it yet. Supposedly blocks ads natively |

| 1425343 | 2016-09-03 11:08:00 | I have Adblock Plus running on my PC. As you've discovered, that's why... Try this, it's the lightest / fastest, and gives the least amount of false-positives: chrome.google.com |
