I’ve always disliked them and even suggested an optional paid subscription to go add free. Nothing huge but enough to get rid of all the clutter. Never saw a response to that comment.

Then it will turn into the debate about pops ups or which add blockers you have, etc. That won’t fix all the add isssues

I get zero ads. Spent an hour one day experimenting with adblockers on Firefox / Windows 11 and now use uBlock Origin.

I have never had an ad blocker, I didn't need it, however, using Google Chrome with Win 10 at the office & the same bowser with Win 11 at home. Lately the ads have been multiplying in the Forum catagories themselves as well as to the Left & Right. Not sure why, or, what to do about trying to mitigate them. I do realize that there are paying advertisers, but, I have no idea where their placement is suppose to be, it's never been this bad before.

Yah I don’t have any ads on other forums but here it went nuts.
Use to be just the sides or top and bottom but now between threads and even posts,

I just looked at my blocking stats and it shows 352 adds blocked on this site in less than one minute. Never seen such a high number on any site before.

Yeah, it seems to have a lot to do with it being "Google"?:unsure:

They are multiplying like rabbits and only on this site. This just doesn't seem right.

The ads that I am seeing have nothing to do with a recent search, these ads range from quanset huts to ladies lingerie. I've been on adsense & opted out of everything & to no avail they keep coming & in between the posts in the threads.
