Block Paltalk Advertisements

Many people use a program called Paltalk. They don't necessarily pay for a green nick so they use a black nick. Going into the rooms with a black nick is very annoying because of the advertising and lots of pop-ups. You will probably be annoyed with the advertisements slowing you down, and those pop-ups. In this article, you will learn how to kill pop-ups and how to remove advertisements from your Paltalk windows (older versions).
