Sometimes it's a sad tale indeed, because at the time I was a poor student on a tight budget.

Some of the items on the list have changed, some are still the same. Several things have vanished, a couple new things have come along. In fact, this list itself has changed over time.

AdBlock Plus is an ad-blocker that actually removes items from web pages. Not only do you not see the ad, but in most cases, you don't even have a hole in the spot from which the ad was removed. Since it's never loaded, no bandwidth is used by the ad, either.
