How's that? The Google Ads should have gone now for most?

The constant request to allow ads on my desktop make it unusable very annoying.

Exactly this. Extremely annoying, to the point of making me go off to look at another forum.

Have you tried a browser called Brave? It is Chromium based, so very similar to Google Chrome, but is excellent at blocking a lot of things such as ads.


I'd need to log out to see how it is with this forum, but I find it great for reducing ads and pop ups on most websites.

Have to say that Firefox settings provide excellent options where advertising and tracking are concerned. Maybe it's time I tried their mobile browser again, after not getting along with it upon release many years back.

I find I get a lot of ads on YouTube with Firefox - but then again, I haven't tinkered with any settings as I don't use it very often.

Thought I'd been using Adblock Plus, but now see it's AdBlocker Ultimate.

I've read that Youtube have lately cracked down on adblockers, but I get nothing at all during videos - ever. I also run Ghostery and NoScript to combat the worst effects of tracking, but notice default settings for both are quite liberal on Youtube.

Watching on Youtube mobile app is entirely different matter.

Have you stopped the constant badgering to allow adds on my Browser when I access this site?

I suspect that if you are still being badgered, the answer is no. If no badgering is occurring, the answer is yes. That is assuming the badger can be controlled...

Have you tried using a different browser that may have more ability to block badgering?

I think with the changes dan is making, whether positive or negative, the site is being “reset” each time….
so when you open the page afresh, it’s having to go through the cookies and ads question each time.

FYI @Dan the little black search dot is back with me, along with a google search bar which is new. Adchoices are also back.

Strangley enough I haven't faced the AdChoices confirmation for several weeks.

Kind of concerned about posting this as it'll be back now.
