Yet another question from trhe thicky!

I have just had the weekly duckduckgo newsletter and in it there's a link to 'Privacy Badger'. Is it worth a look or not as I seem to be getting a **** of a lot of advertising about the things I have been searching? Even on sites like Axminster Power Tools come up when I'm having a gander at The Telegraph. Not really a problem, but a bit of a pain.

Are you using a good ad-blocker? Privacy Badger is more of an anti-tracker than an ad-blocker. Try something like uBlockOrigin or AdBlock Plus.
You can use Privacy Badger if you're worried about tracking.

Ta Cradom. You prompted me to look ay my Ghosterie and for some reason it was blocking on that site, so if/when I see ity again I will check. I also have Adblock Plus and the settings should have been OK on that, but???

Thank you again and I will have a good look at Privacy Badger.
