It didn’t say lower, just better. See, Amazon prices tend to have dollars and cents, while Meh’s are usually just flat dollar amounts, meaning Amazon always offers more digits per unit of your preferred fun-buck. That makes Amazon’s objectively better. It’s pure science.

From an IT standpoint:
1 person having it is OK but then your neighbor gets it too and they are not as tech savvy:
Ad blocker is an extra layer of software that could cause issues. Or Ad blocker will be just 1 more thing to support in the future.
From a personal standpoint:
That being said I have no opinion on it. I used an ad block on my router and it was great until it caused issues with Hulu.
@baqui63 I almost forgot about licencing. IT should read the license agreement or terms of service on every software installed. Is it free for corporate or is your IT department required to purchase a business licence?
@caffeine_dude As a counter-point, I’ve heard great arguments for ad-blocking pre-installed company-wide: less bandwidth, faster page loads, and cutting out the risk of malvertising (compromised ads serving up malware/etc). Additionally, it can save users from themselves if they are trying to download a program online- fake links and download buttons, and the like are all filtered away.
ha!

/giphy blinded me with science
Too funny. I have an ad blocker on my computer at work, don’t tell IT though.
@ConAndLibrarian Why would IT care?
@baqui63 @akom is the IT guy at my work, or at least used to he until he transferred.
/giphy damn him!!!
@ConAndLibrarian Ah. Small world. None of the people I work with are active on the meh forums, at least to my knowledge…
/me looks around suspiciously
@baqui63 That’s a nice blue shirt you have on today.

Ad Blocker is 1 more piece of software variable to Malware/Virus attacks.
The same could be said about CC cleaner.
