Erm, can't you switch it off...?
Erm, I think that might be why I'm getting the ads.

Which is, of course, what I meant. I mostly use Firefox, with both the VPN and adblocker add-ons. It's such a quick and simple process I don't even think about it any more.
This is the way

Yes, I did check it out, but because I have my browsers synced, with 3 computers doing distinctly different things it doesn't really work for me when 2 or 3 machines are in use at the same time. It isn't the ad block, its the way I use my machines. It is better to live with the problem, adjusting manually when it suits, rather than try to manage the problem within the ad blocker.

I was confused by that and now find that their built in VPN is not yet offered in Thailand.

As an FYI, I've never synced devices with a browser in my life until this morning when I did four. Seamless with Firefox using their QR code. A 30 second exercise each machine.
