I run "Free Ad Blocker Browser" on Android. Works a treat.
I enjoy my morning Forum browse, but the incessant pop-up ads which now take 75% of my screen are killing it.
I'm a technophobe and have no idea how to rid them from my Samsung phone screen.
Help please...

None at all on Tapatalk. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I haven't tried it on the PC, but solves the pop up problems completely on the phone.

TZ-UK needs to get its act together on pop ups. Pop ups make money for the forum and without adverts the forum would probably die. However when the pop ups take over the screen, it makes you come here less and then the forum makes less money.
If everyone used an Adblocker, the forum would get zero income, so there needs to be a balancing act.
One of the weird things about pop ups is that you can bet your bottom dollar that all the high volume regulars who almost live here must use Adblockers just to keep their sanity, so the high users probably pay nothing towards the running costs.
Must resist...

I've recently had a bit of a shake up from using chrome
I've changed to using the 'Brave' browser with the cryptospam turned off in the settings and bitwarden as a password manager across all my devices (windows and iOS). I am now utterly ad free.
I must say that at least half the time, this happens to me. I find if I exit the page and go back, it disappears.
I use a Mac and don't have any problems. Perhaps it's a Windows thing?
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
ive used ublock origin on firefox for years- i never see any pop ups.
its already been said, as far as im concerned an online presence is part of the cost of doing business these days.
Install Kiwi browser on your phone. Kiwi allows you to install chrome extensions. Install Ublock Origin to block ads. Ublock is worth learning about, https://www.maketecheasier.com/ultim...erusers-guide/. If you like reading news sites may be worth googling "Bypass Paywalls Clean".
I also use Brave with adblocker. Never had a problem. But, has anyone ever bought anything advertised on internet. I haven't. Anything that ever thought useful I ch3cked around and foound same item cheaper elsewhere. Still never bought them though.
I use Tapatalk premium on an iPhone and have not seen an ad for years, don’t really get pop ups either on my MacBook or iMac but then I use an ad blocker through a chrome extension..
Anyone got a solution for iPad & iPhone the random videos have to go!
Just a note to say that you want uBlock Origin (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) and not uBlock (https://ublock . org/)

I never cease to be amazed by the amount of ‘Bored lonely women’ there are in my area! I have a pile of ironing they could be working through.

AdGuard dns works well on Wi-Fi
From the home screen, tap Settings.
Choose Wi-Fi in the left menu (it is impossible to configure DNS for mobile networks).
Tap on the name of the currently active network.
In the DNS field enter our DNS addresses:
IPv4
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15
That’s for iOS btw.
There’s an Android way that works on cellular too

Give Blokada a try. It’s a system dns so blocks across all apps not just browsers. It’s open source and free.
I use it on my iPhone and iPad and it works really well. I like the Flipboard app for reading news but without an add blocker it’s a complete nightmare.

I find Tapatalk absolutely fine, apart from the lack of apostrophes! There are plenty of ads but they don’t ruin the browsing experience.

Any suggestions for an adblocker I can use in Safari on a MacBook?
Preferably in dummy language as I’m a techidiot
I downloaded Adguard for Safari today and not seen any pop-ups yet on my MacBook. Happy days! Separately I have for months had an unusual glitch where I can't click on the top two threads of any forum. If they interest me I have to wait for them to drop to third or further (or get the phone out to click on them)
