When I try to copy a Photobucket link Adblock blocks the link with a black strip
This little tab that says "block" keeps popping up above the black strip. When I hover the browser over the little tab a little message says, "Click here to block this object with Adblock plus".
Something about the photobucket photo links makes it "thinK" it's supposed to block them.
I'm trying to get used to my son's old laptop after using a mac, and I'm not even sure where to find if I have adblock installed.

If you do not see the Tools menu, you might need to Exit Full Screen mode to see the menu options.

(112,520 posts)I think that you are trying to check using the Tools menu in the Windows Explorer file manager.
I know that it is difficult to see, but the menu I'm talking about is at the very top (ignore the background color scheme) above the URL box.

(6,011 posts)On the mac I can see those things in plain sight, with this I can't. I don't use the good old mac much now because I can't update the browsers and it's very slow.

(68,644 posts)It was because I'd set adblock to stop those damn ads from coming up in almost any youtube I played.
I had to unblock the sites. Turns out the ads only show up when I'm signed into my Google account.
