As you may know, a company called GuideScope puts out a product called GuideScope, which promises to block all ads. I tested it, and these are my results:
- Download Time: Reasonably quick download over a 56.6K modem (with AOL, mind you).
- Installation: Virtually painless, doesn’t fuck with system settings, making you set it up yourself as a proxy.
- Ease of Use: Very easy to use, although I don’t like having to be connected to change settings.
- Problems: Hoo boy-o. This program is ridden with bugs. First, it doesn’t actually block all ads, just the first one on the page. Second, and truly worst, it doesn’t let any authorization activity through (such as logging into Blogger), meaning you can’t check mail, log in to various accounts, or do anything of value. Third, it is a complete resource hog. I don’t really worry, having 287MB at my computer’s disposal, but others might run into problems.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!
Other than that, I am lazy. Don’t talk to me for a few days, I got my @$$ kicked at LaserQuest tonight, but I was taking on the best Laser Tag players in the US, so I don’t feel so bad.
