Ads

I would personally recommend uBlock Origin instead of Adblock Plus. A number of years ago Adblock Plus started a program called "acceptable ads" where advertisers could pay to not have their unobtrusive adds blocked. uBlock is also open source and less taxing on your system.

True and thanks for the uBlock info, but there is an option to block all ads in Adblock Plus.

Appreciate the advice/options gents! I’ll look into those solutions.

I recall seeing YouTube is blocking the extensions or something like that. They are a powerhouse these days.

Yeah, it only works on my MacBook. No workie on my iPhone.

I can't open any news sites without being asked to turn off adblocker. Even Rueters. It's hilarious how we have to sell our data to stay informed.

This is another reason why I use the PiHole. I run 2 on my network for redundancy. If ur technically capable, this is a good way to go. Run on a cheap Raspberry Pi or even a Linux system.
