Adblock Plus is the ticket for sure but I have only used it as an extension in Chrome on my Linux and Windows laptops. Works excellent...also eliminates ads on many other websites including Youtube! No idea how it works on mobile stuff such as Android and Apple. What I do know is I will never surf the web on my laptops without it!

adblock plus is compromised (takes $$ to allow certain ads). uBLock origin is way better (browser settings, top right, click add ons or extensions, type it in and install) Its a 2-sec install.

Adblock does the job with Chrome on my laptop. Not sure why it works on one and not the other.

Phones are hard coded to accept ads, I am surprised you got any ad blocker to work (its just the browser, though) You'll get strangled with ads anywhere else, apps, youtube etc. uBlock blocks EVERY ad once installed on your computer

I only use Firefox on my phone for Moparts. I use Chrome for everything else and any ad activity I see on any sites I use there is minimal unlike Moparts which is completely unusable on Chrome.

The Brave browser has the ad blocking built in and has worked well on an iPad to read Moparts.
Every so often, maybe once every 2 - 5 weeks, the Infolinks window pops up and I have to enlarge and click the tiny circle with a ? inside it, and scroll all the way down to click the “Opt Out” link. I think this happens because at random times Moparts erases all cookies and logs all users out, maybe due to system software updates.
Recently the “Realcleardefense” website started acting strange when loading using the Brave Browser. I think this was on purpose because some websites need the ad money and pop up “Turn Off Your Ad Blocker” windows.
