Free Internet access is becoming more commonplace. And if you're tired of browsing with the big two, Netscape and Internet Explorer , try Neoplanet. Neoplanet creates its own links on Web pages. For example, if the FBI is mentioned in an article, Neoplanet underlines it in yellow and creates a hyperlink to the FBI's site. The Internet is the land of the free.
Web sites can offer something for nothing because they sell space for ads.
But banner ads can subtract from the overall experience of Web-surfing, filling the page with clutter and gobbling up valuable bandwidth. You can zap those banner ads for good and for free. Once you download and install the free software, Adsubtract screens each page, eats all the ads and then displays the new commercial-free Web site. You can check the stats page to see how many ads you missed. During a 10-minute session, the program blocked more than 120 ads from reaching one computer.
