tried to go into a streaming service - used it about 3 hrs ago no problem. Now I am getting a message to tell me taht adblock is on. Followed a link to their support page which showed adblock as a menu item from yhe tools menu - on mine it isnt Ive never heard of this adblock and never signed up to it or ever had the option to not use it. why has it started happening now ? I watched the rugby earlier no problem but cant watch it now. Presumably some feature that open.org just decided to foist on everyone without warning. You are getting more and more like Microsoft
