Do you run adblock in Firefox?

If it's Safari, then go into Preferences > Extensions, choose AdBlock, and click on Show Options. There should then be an option to add an exclusion.

^ That's all from memory, so there might be a couple of errors in it.

Pay for a GZ subscription? Or have the ads which I assume GZ receives payment. Tongue in cheek but I see the ads as supporting GZ.

He's trying to exclude GZ from AdBlock, so that he'll get the ads.

if you pay for gold in GZ do you also get stopped from getting track from facebook/google/outbrain/pagefair/doubleclick

Balm its gone!

I've recently removed Adblock and changed to uBlock. So far it seems very good. The processor and memory usage is supposed to be quite a lot less and it looks to be from my experience.

Cheers,
Joseph

We don't show PageFair to subscribers because there's no point in counting who is not showing ads as a profile option. Likewise Doubleclick is not loaded as it is part of the ads.

Outbrain is only used to link to other Geekzone articles - we don't use the option to link to external sites.

Google Analytics is still used because we need to know numbers.

Facebook is on the forums sidebar, so if you as a subscriber hide the sidebar, that's gone...
