Ad blocking software

I've seen this mentioned here before. What do you guys recommend to stop all the pop-up crap that slows down so many of
the web sites I visit?

Is it free of do you have to buy it?

Does the browser you use matter? Depending on which computer I am using and the site I need to visit I may use Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Microsoft Edge. Thanks.

firefox browser with the free version of addblock plus.
remember, i'm on an old desktop with windhose 7 system.

I use Adblock plus and noscript add-ons on firefox - never see a thing

My iphone has adguard and ad-blocker pro and I dont get any ads

My ipad has ad-blocker pro and I dont get any ads

ad block plus on IE win 7 for me.

windows 10 on my desktop. run Firefox,, ad block plus, Firefox popup blocker, ublock origin .

never see a popup ad, the only add i see are the ones at the top of the page.

i often have the good problem of sometimes there is alternate links in articles that won't open when i click on them. i have to right click and use open link in new window to get it to open.

Thanks guys. Downloaded Firefox and Ad Block Plus and all is well now. Thanks again.

I use Chrome and AdBlock Plus...works great. I have Chrome on all my deices and have them synced so my favorites,bookmarks,etc all look exactly the same no matter which device I'm on.
