Elizabeth Shivel asks:
I use Hotmail, and when I’m in it, on the right side there is the constant running of advertisements. You can go into the Options at the top and select OFF, which then reshuffles your emails, but as soon as you click on an email, the advertisements comes back again.
Is there a way to TURN OFF the advertisements forever? They’re annoying and they bug your eyes flipping all over the screen. Thanks!

Hi Elizabeth, Did you install adblockplus ?
I did not have a hotmail, I signed up just now to test your problem.
I did not see any ads because I installed adblock

one more addon just like adblock plus mentioned in ym previous comment.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/1865/addon-1865-latest.xpi?src=dp-btn-primary
when i paused/disable the adblock, i saw your ads
and when i resumed adblock they disappeared.
that’s it.
you don’t need anything more.
and they are not the optional ads.they are compulsory
When you selected off, it allpied to the reading pan, and not to ads.
you can see 3 options: off, right and bottom.
they will reshuffle mails because you selected to change the position of reading pan
you can test it by selcting bottom
and you will see
Click a message to show it here below the inbox.
so they both are different.
just install either of ad blocker add-ons and get rid of the ads.
thank you, I have hotmail now
Get a gmail account instead
And please, dont use adblock plus unless it’s selectively. It kills the internet by removing revenue streams for services you enjoy for free. If everything used adblock plus, makeuseof would not exist.
Yes, if you love makeuseof, then do this
for adblock plus : click the adblockplus icon and click on disable on makeusof.com
for adblock: click adblock icon and click don’t run on this domain.
