How to opt-out all ads in browser using AdChoices?

There are ads everywhere. The Internet is not the same as it was some years ago. AdChoices is a self-regulatory program for online internet-based advertising that exists in the United States, Canada and across Europe. The program calls for advertising companies to establish and enforce responsible privacy practices for interest-based advertising, aimed to give consumers enhanced transparency and control. Companies adhere to a set of principles that are enforced by accountability programs.

So, there we go. Let's dig into it.

When you're seeing any ad just click on the AdChoices icon to get to your settings. Or alternatively you can directly goto the site of YourAdChoices.

AdChoices Logo

On the home page, head over to Control.

Now select Visit the Consumer Choice Page



It will redirect you to WebChoices.


Then follow the steps in the wizard.

It will take some time and show you the results.

Then hit Continue.


Opt-out the ones you want or simply select all.


After completion, you'll be shown:



Then View Updated Results.


That's it.


This will work until your cookies are preserved. So to prevent your required cookies from bing deleted you can install the Extension Protect My Choices for your browser. This one is for Chrome:


 You can find the extention for Firefox, Internet Explorer or any other easily.

So that's how we do it.

How to download files from Dropbox and Google Drive using IDM?

First of all let me tell you that the title of this article should be "How to download files from Dropbox  and Google Drive using IDM or any other download manager ?" Ever wondered if you could download gigantic files with pause and resume support with your favorite download manager. Generally, download managers can't do that because they have not cookies, unlike browsers. But as you know, there's always a way. Downloading drom Dropbox: 1. Mark the address bar. 2.Copy the URL to the clipboard. 3. Add the URL to your download manager (Here I'm using Tonec IDM). You should seethe link starting with " https://www.. ." 4. Replace that with "dl", viz. your link " https://www .dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" will be now  " dl ..dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" 5.

New fraud WhatsApp message misguiding people to get them free data on Jio

A message telling users to "upgrade their services" has gone viral on popular social instant messaging platform WhatsApp. As you can clearly see the actual URL of the site is http://upgrademyjioservice.blogspot.in/, just a blog , which is not associated with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in anyway. And at the bottom of the message, you can see the hood-winker has used URL shortening service TINYCC  to beguile people. On clicking the link you will land on the blog Looking at the address bar, it's a Blogspot site. It will tell you to download an app (in APK) and install it. And mark the unnecessary permissions required for the app too. Think about it. If it's really from Jio and an official offer, then why wouldn't it be in Play Store? Why wouldn't it not be advertised on MyJio app? MyJio is the self-care application by Jio facilitating  users to manage their Jio Account and Digital Services associated with it. Why wouldn't it be...

How to make unresumable downloads resumable?

While downloading from some sites you must have seen the links going expired. Some download manager also have a "Refresh Download Link" feature to solve that. However it doesn't work in all cases. So to clinch that issue, you can download those files to your cloud drive and download those from it itself. There is no time limit in downloading from cloud drives and you can easily take the advantage of pause and resume features. I'm going to use Google Drive and MultCloud here. However there are many other sites you can get by just googling it. First of all get the link of the file to be downloaded​. Goto MultCloud (you have to create an account) add the URL, it will be saved to your Google Drive. Now it's all done. You can simply download the file with no hassle from your cloud storage without bothering about expiration of link or time limit. There's another feature of MultCloud, some sites even restrict your download speed to few KB/s, by using it you can d...
