I have found it very annoying trying to use the computer with more ads than content. Reding an article with three sentences and a full page of ads. I have said repeatedly that I wish there was a way to eliminate them. Well there is.I found an ad blocker. Maybe you all already aware of thisI.It's wonderful, no ads. It saves space also on your computer.I wish there was one for tvs.The one I got gives a summary of how many blocks a day and on which site. It was only  39 dollars a year.

I run AdBlock Plus and Malwarebytes, both free versions and I get NO ads on any site I visit.

The FREE ones (add ons, extensions & apps) do the exact thing! 

 

Just curious, what do you get for $39 than what you already mentioned?

There is no "if."  AdBlock Plus is FREE & is one of the  best if not the G.O.A.T. of ad blockers. Smiley Very Happy

All browsers have the add-on or extension in their store.  You can also download the app directly from the developers website. 

 

Also, check your browsers settings/Preferences & make sure "block pop-ups" setting is enabled/checked.

It says they use cookies.  I hate cookies.  That's tracking you.

@Annabellethecat66You can control the tracking by going into Ad Block Preferences to set up YOUR preferences.  Mine is set up to allow no tracking from all websites that I visit since I do not allow anyone to use my desktop.
