eBay plus banner delaying page loading

[ferrobilt]

how can I get rid of the Ebay plus banner advertising on My eBay, there is a 5 second delay to the page loading which is disconcerting indeed, I tried to eliminate it with my Adblock but that is only temporary, eBay have many annoying habits, but this one is really getting to me

I honestly do not know of many pages without ads that waste space and time

Hence why ad blockers are around

I have the NBN which is total bs, so even with a proper ad blocker, I can only dream of something loading within five seconds

I downloaded Tubular Bells (amongst many others) from Napster.

I had a you beaut 33.6k modem on a Pentium 133 running Win 95, which was cutting edge in 1996. Left it going overnight and ended up taking a tad over 12 hours. Can't remember the file size.

I was getting the Plus banner, but it seems to have disappeared. Which is good, because my modem died yesterday and USB Dongle modems are apparently so 2019, and I'm running my computer internet through my phone. Which is slow and rips the backside out of the phone battery.

I did a speed test yesterday, getting 25Mbps download, that is because of copper connections, maybe fibre will come one day to get 1000Mbps speeds.

I use NBN, fortunately the node is very close, but 25 Mbps download speed is the max, the original fibre to the premises of Labor would have given me 1000Mbps speeds, no chance of that now

Did anyone else see 'Valley of the Boom' on SBS recently and the Netscape, 'browser wars' ?
