I had tried the free Ad Block brand add blocker until they started flooding every page with their adds to upgrade and buy their regular commercial add blocker. I deleted it and added the free Avcast Secure program and it doesn't work on this forum at all whiney help luck
Thanks in advance: Cab

Ad Block is what I use on my PC. I don't see any ads.

You using a PC or your cell phone?

uBlock Origin. Do not pay any attention to any of the other ad blockers in the app store. Just use this one and remove whatever you had before.

uBlock origin and Sponsor block to skip the embedded ads, use both

Unless you have programs that won't run on it, Linux operating system is the way to go. No need for additional security or blockers.


Master, again and still

I use this one with firefox, I've only seen the infolinks when I tried an unhardened browser, NEVER with adblock plus

Been using it for years without issue, if I was needing to change I'd probably go with the Ublock origin.

AdGuard Extensions seem to work pretty well.

I use an old (6+ yrs. or more older) HP desk top computer with Windows Ten currently and ATT Yahoo for my browser.
On those using Adblock brands are you paying for it monthly or yearly? How much?
Thanks in advance and thanks to all of you that have help me on this up bow

Cab, according to A&TT, that browser is no longer supported.

SWITCH IMMEDIATELY. Adblock plus is free to use, as are most of them. I believe they all accept donations if you'd like to make one.

FWIW, you already have Microsoft Edge, based on chrome, fully supported and kept updated through windows update automagically.

No problem at all. If you switch browsers you should be able to import all your information to the new browser. If not, you can do it all manually. E-mail is nearly always a user name: your e-mail address and password.

From a security standpoint, you should NEVER sign into your browser with your email credentials. Recommend you switch to a dedicated email client, the old standby is Thunderbird. If you like paying Microsoft, you can use Outlook.

Check youtube for PC Security Channel, pics w/ commentary are worth boatloads of explanations.

If you're just browsing the internet and getting emails...this is the fix. I run Linux Mint on a VERY old laptop with Chrome and Adblock Plus. I see ZERO ads anywhere on the net. Linux comes with Firefox and Thunderbird for email. It also comes with Libre office to do any office type work like docs, spreadsheets etc. It is fast, secure and stable. It looks and "feels" like Windows without all the Windows silly BS. Best of all...it's free!!!

I use adblock plus. If there are ads that you don't want that get by you can ad them to be blocked (hit block element then highlight the ad) and it's gone.
