[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Dealing with freepatterns full of ads

[Lovette Yewchan]

I do similar.
There is a way on the mac to get rid of any false links and make it very speech friendly.
I’ve been working for weeks to put all my patterns into folders that make sense.
THe thing is, I keep getting new patterns and don’t always put them where I should.
haha.

It takes a little while, but it doesn’t jump around, and I know I want the file on my PC anyway.  It does take out any links to videos, but I’m not big on videos anyway, and I can always go back to the webpage if I need to.
