Nice one, I am sort of lazy and decided to just live with it but will turn it off now, after all, why do we need 2 main email sections and a spam section? You either want your mail or you don't, so why add a 3rd party to complicate things?

I've tried looking around how to remove ads and there's no easy way by selecting an option. However, you can use Adblock but in doing so it also blocks tracking of purchases if you use websites such as TopCashBack/Quidco.

Rockman Yeah got adblock on Chrome mate, but I use a clean Opera for all tracking. In fact for a lot of things Opera seems to just work better than Chrome but because I have Chrome synced across my devices I just stick with it so everything is there when I need it.
