finally switched to chrome for the upload.

Then re-downloaded adblock and it wouldn't work. Have tried re-downloading it a couple times. Still doesn't work. I've given up and live with the effing ads. At least I haven't seen any closeups of toenail fungus on my screen lately.

I think Rocktivity is probably right and it is not yet updated to the new OS yet. Give them some time. Adblock is a great program. By the way, how do you like windows 10?

Too many apps shoved on me, and some Internet sites work slowly, or not at all.

YouTube is a little wonky.
