I'm sure others have posted about this, but I've searched and can't find anything here. I've got about the bottom 1" of my computer screen that ALWAYS has assorted pop up ads in it and that section of screen can't be removed or moved. I've clicked on the little arrow and I've tried to opt out of all ads, but when I do so, it typically shows some sort of error or I get a message that I've successfully opted out of ZERO pop up ads. What the hell? I'm sure I don't have to say it, but it's REALLY annoying and prevents me from fully enjoying the forum. For someone who's admittedly VERY techno-challenged, is there something that I can do to eliminate this BS? Is this how they get you to subscribe (admittedly, I'm cheap, but if I subscribed to every service and web page that I enjoy, I'd be broke).

Opposite for me. iPhone is fairly tolerable with a relatively small banner constantly at the bottom of page, but on my desktop it’s like …
I use the Chrome browser on my PC with AdblockPlus. Gets rid of a lot of the clutter. When I am on a page where the ad bar shows up in the bottom, I bring up the AdblockPlus interface, click Block Element, and then click the ad bar, select Block, and poof it is gone.
I am using the opera browser with an extension called uBlock Origin. I get no ads or pop ups at all. This is on my PC.
I thought about changing my browser to do this, but don't really wish to let Google have any more access to my stuff (not that I can really help it anyway). For me it's on the computer and not on my phone, but mine is like PSUbluTX's and I'm sick of it.
uBlock Origin can also be used with Firefox. One of the best I've come across.
