We'll try not to show that ad again-but we will.

I realize in this age of capitalism that advertisements probably keep this form going, but the ads are getting a little bit too much for me and no matter how many times you click on them, they always come back over and over and over. So my question is..... which advertising blocking programs actually work?... as I did a typical Google search and the one that seems to get the most attention is just called Ad blocker, but it has mixed reviews as a lot of them do, so is there a great one that you know that works? if so give me the name of it please.

At present I am using Ad Blocker Ultimate. The only ad I see is the MadCow rocketry ad at the top of the right pane.

Hmm, I don't get any ads on this forum.
I am using an Android phone, I also am a paid supporter.

downloaded it to Chrome just now, thanks. I hope it is worth my donation I gave them.

AdBlockPlus is all I've used. It's free and so far it's done a great job - been using it for probably 10 years, give or take.

+1 for a PiHole. Not for everybody, YMMV.

A bit of a pain to set up and not free, but brutally effective against ads.

I'll second uBlock Origin. Not only does it block ads, but you can also easily select elements to block from being displayed on a website (e.g. header graphics, menu bars, etc.)

I've been using Adblock+ for years. NO ads on TRF and many other sites. It even removes the 'sponsored' items from the news feed on sites like CNN and Facebook.

PiHole and AdBlock+

PiHole blocks 30-40% of DNS requests per day on my home network

Opera is my browser of choice. Fast with adblocking build in.
