For those considering using Adblock Plus, you should be aware that due to the incorporated filters (size 100MB) that the application must access for each page that you visit - this application consumes a huge amount of memory (RAM). That is something you need to consider before installing. My rig (PC) is maxxed out at 16GB RAM and I have a Core i7 3.60 GHz processor and I am not going to ruin a racing machine for the sake of blocking ads for a RAM hogging application. I will just choose to stop visiting the board and perhaps subscribe via email. The ads are due to no fault of PatriceJ, a wonderful Administrator. However, I am just saying to carefully consider the consequences of installing this "convenience" application or any other similar, at the drop of a hat. Ultimately, it is not free - there is a cost/tradeoff. Just wanted to provide some informative information to those who are interested. I always do my research as I am as much into computers as I am quilting.
