Yes I have done it both on my phone and my laptop. No ads on either device!Yeah, I had issues through Safari too. You can download DDG at app store and follow instructions.
My default browser and search engine are now DDG. Now weather channel, JohnDee, ect no pop ups at all.
I am far from an expert though

Ads have gotten so bad using a mobile site in the last day, they’re taking over the entirety of my screen and no option to close it out, not letting me look at or see anything. I tried DDG and it was the same. I switched to a ”desktop” site on my phone and it shrunk The size of the ads enough that I can still use the site with no issues.

When you change to DDG make sure your default browser and search engine goes through DDG. I had same issue until I changed that.Ads have gotten so bad using a mobile site in the last day, they’re taking over the entirety of my screen and no option to close it out, not letting me look at or see anything.

I use DDG now instead of google and I have no ads at all.
I spend quite a bit of time on a Weber grilling/smoking forum that looks to be the same platform, no ads whatsoever. This site is overrun w them. probably just paying the bills but it’s tough to navigate. if anyone else is a bit psycho about grilling and smoking food a cool resource is www.tvwbb.com
Thanks for the link, I'll bookmark that for later. I don't do much with either the grill or smoker during the winter but come Spring we'll get things "cookin" again.
