My last guess is that you're in a country advertisers don't care about. Other than that, I've lost interest and hope you enjoy your loophole ;)

Thank you; I pretty sure they care about my country though, especially since adds were displayed on a friends computer on the same network.

I'm sure that careful readers( not that many apparently :-) ) will spot the cause.

Yeah you have the ad domains in your hosts file which causes the ad load to fail. Pretty caveman technique but if it works it works

I would have to say it is very elegant and simple. Besides the missing adds I had no problems with anything else.
