Thanks guys, but it's not necessary to change your bookmarks to start from the home page.

Not all of them. About one third of adds on the CPU-World is CPM.

Never use AD blocker...
Maybe add some ADs to the forum will help?

Disabled!

If ads were just still images I probably wouldn't even bother with it, but moving things in my peripheral vision eat up my 3-mbps connection and CPU time (=waste of energy, extra heat and noise) - and they're annoying too.

Google has been allowing cryptocurrency mining ads now, which really kill your performance (by design) so I pretty much use an ad blocker always now

Agree, mining is worst than having an add on a page haha

How about Cpu world ? is your situation better ? I just hope you'll keep cpu-world running for a long time ! loosing this Web site would be an earthquake for cpu collectors and all cpu's datas history...

I'm surprised that it's legal to mine on other people's computers without their knowledge.

In some areas it probably hasn't, but its such a new abuse that it has yet to be tested in the courts (in any country that I know of)

There are no changes in site's ad policy. However... Members of the "CPU collectors" group can browse the site ad-free. You can send a request to join that group using the "Usergroups" link in the top menu. If/When approved, you will also get access to the "Group Buys" forum.
