I seem to constantly be getting pop up ads that are quite annoying when I am trying to post. Is there a way to get rid of them?

Let me test it now.

Edit--it works, Ad Blocker it's called. Wait a second it says "Total Adblock" on my computer.

About this Total Adblock, they tried to sell me a subscription to keep getting it. I just ignored it and I think it's still blocking ads. I haven't seen any here today at least.

I uninstalled it because they started harrassing me to pay for it. Then I tried a bunch of others recommended by Chrome and they all were bad, wouldn't install and my computer said they were harmful.

So I'm back to seeing ads.

Do you have one to recommend?

Firefox + popup blocker. Chrome (Google) won't let you block (Google) ads, but Firefox will. I haven't seen one since switching.
