...and the last thing Intuit wants us to be able to do is block those annoying ads that they send us through this new browser that's been causing all these problems. Plus, ultimately, Intuit wants us all to drop desktop and migrate to their subscription service so we can pay monthly.  If it comes to that I will pull the plug and find another accounting system.  I won't pay monthly.

It's just unbelievable how badly engineered this program is.  If you can't (temporarily) stop your computer from accessing the internet I think you're at the mercy of Intuit's developers to fix the problem but seeing how they have had a month and still can't fix it I don't have a lot of hope they will get it fixed quickly.
