Blocking Web bugs

Blocking advertisements

Advertisements are typically graphics served from a third party domain into a web
page or pop-up window. Privacy Service does not block ads that are served from
the same domain as the host web page.
Pop-ups are secondary browser windows presenting unwanted advertisements,
which automatically display when as you visit a web site. Privacy Service only
blocks those pop-ups that are automatically loaded when a web page loads.
Pop-ups initiated by clicking a link are not blocked by Privacy Service. To display
a blocked pop-up, hold down the CTRL key and refresh the web page.
Configure Privacy Service to block advertisements and pop-ups when you are
using the Internet.
