Tips & Warnings
If you want an ad or video to play, just hit the "Flash" logo button (it's a lowercase "f" in the area where the ad or video would normally be playing).
Some ads (such as GIF animations) will still be active. If these are annoying, try a free ad blocker from the "Add-ons" section mentioned in the article.
