Title: Do you use an ad blocker?
Post by: Dexter on August 16, 2017, 06:34:35 pm

You should. It'll make your internet experience much more enjoyable. They get rid of pretty much everything, even commercials on Youtube and other streaming sites. There's also a good chance your browser will run a lot smoother when it's not loading all of those annoying ads.

I recommend uBlock Origin, but there are several to choose from.

Ablock plus AND ublock origin both here. They play well together, and ublock stops the ones Adblock allows through with its "pay to play" scheme for advertisers.

No scripts and ghostery here. Both work well.
