We all love to browse the web to read news, view celebrity pictures, and buy stuff. But what happens when we become the ones who are read, viewed, browsed, and bought? This is what online advertising is doing to you.

Advertising is everywhere. It's on your televisions, sidewalks, billboards, buses, and mostly...in your way.

Try to buy something online and you're likely to be offered thirty other items along the way. If you want to view your favorite online romance stories, you'll have to decide on which new car you want in your driveway. Having an email account means you will have to spend hours on end sorting, reading, and deleting mounds of spam.

On the other hand, advertising can also be the reason you have access to thousands of amenities floating around the Internet. Advertising irritates you to pay the website owners who in turn give you free access to their website. Is it fair game? Maybe so, but the unyielding amount of online advertising is immensely interfering with our online experience.

So, what is the solution? Should we complain and moan or kick and yell? Well, yelling and kicking won't do much of anything. We need something that will keep advertising from taking over our brains and stop us from having remembrances of popular catchphrases.

One solution that will rid yourself of unwanted advertising is good enough to sing about. Opera has a web browser that is completely ad-free. It might be hard to make that change though, since a lot of us are set in our online ways. But if your as adamant as the millions (or even billions) of the rest of us in ridding ourselves of online advertising, then that change might just be for you.

The "Opera" browser has protection against identity theft, phishing, and a medley of other security features. The browser is made to give you a dynamic Internet experience without annoying you to death with advertisements.
