In that case you'll have to sell cards in order to get some in-game currency.

Heh, I thought that was the default state of chrome.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I've been using Chrome since Firefox crashed on me, until today I assumed that Chrome, being a Google product, didn't have fancy-schmancy add-ons such as AdBlock. You learn something new every day.

It's a very poor one, last I l9oked they don't let you block specific sites.

I Can't use chrome on the phone as every other page tells me my phone is 62% infected. Facebook on the phone does stupid stuff too. I would support the death penalty for the folks who write and embed those scripts.

Use incognito mode for Chrome and dump Facebook. It is unwise to have Facebook installed on your smartphone, for those datahoarders will log everything they possibly can. Big Brother is an amateur in comparison.

I'm too poor to give nationstates actual money, so I don't use it

Actually, me not using adblock is what caused my addiction to EU4 of all things.

That's the amazing thing to me, growing up the government was the biggest fear of data collection. Shows what we knew.
