My computer perished and one of the things I miss is the ad blocker I had. I'm so old I don't remember where I got it.
You guys have been champs at helping me with puter problems so I turn to you again.

What's the blocker you use? Free is what I prefer.

use firefox plus ublock origin. You don't need anything else. Don't use "adblocker ultimate" whatever that is.

I'll second ublock origin. Great add-on.

Additionally, if you feel up to following step by step directions (and can find a raspberry pi, or have old hardware lying around) check out the pihole site: https://pi-hole.net/

They even have an lcars ui !

The real question - anyone got an adblocker that effectively stops Twitch ads?

Hello Shourty! For a free and effective ad blocker, I recommend "uBlock Origin." It's a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Enjoy a hassle-free browsing experience!
