Ad(vertising) blocker info please
I saw a recent thread in which ad blockers were mentioned, but now I have questions. What ad blocker do you use? Did you download it? Was it free (or how much did it cost?) I am sick of seeing ads all the time and would love to block at least some of them.
When my washing machine died last week, I went online to research a new one. I bought one and it's up and running, but my computer pages are still full of washer ads. I want this to STOP!
Thank you for any info you can provide.

This is what I use as well. Extremely happy with it. There are still ads on the sides/top/bottom of most pages but not the horrible pop up types.

I have Adblock Plus on my desktop computer, which I am using with Chrome. I think it's a Chrome add-on. I use a different one for my iPad; I can look up the name of it later, if you want it.
All the ad blockers I have used have been free. The iPad one is a free download from the App store. For my computer, I think I Google Adblock Plus and found out how to add it to my Chrome browser that way. Which ad blocker you use depends on what type of computer device you are using and what kind of browder you are using to access the website. Googling will usually tell you what to check out.
