I tried to read a thread tonight and literally got a full screenshot interrupt every 10 seconds of this screenshot. I ain't from mexico but I did take 4 semesters back in the mid 90s. I can't take much more. Please stop these ads...

Brave browser blocks those ads. Desktop and mobile.

I’ve said this I don’t know how many times but there’s always that 10% that doesn’t get the word.

You can buy ‘em books and send ‘em to school but you can’t make ‘em learn.

I have Brave and gave it a try for 2 weeks.
The search is atrocious. Googles search isn't as good as it was 8 years ago, but current Google is 8x better than the crap that Brave spews.

The anonymity is cool. The anonymity is annoying.

You don't have to choose between ads and the Brave search engine.
  1. You can always go to Google dot com to search.
  2. Brave also allows you to select the search engine used in the address bar, including Google:

If you don't want to use a browser that blocks ads by default (Brave), you can also use browser extensions. I sometimes have to use Chrome. I use the free extension uBlock Origin.

This website reviews some other ad-blocking tools that I haven't personally used yet:
