    Ads in-between posts is too much

    Ok I get it, you have to make money somehow but getting an ad between literally every two posts when reading through a thread is too much and frankly probably will drive me away from this site if left this way.

    Also video pop ups... Really... Don't be this greedy please.

    If only there was some kind of add-on that would block ads.

    I especially like that the website is now completely full of adverts for the exact 7.5m HDMI cable I bought an hour ago, as if I plan to impulse buy a second one.

    Firefox + adguard + NoScript

    And it's all freeware...help yourself.

    I forgot that adds were a thing. I for sure don't regret those three clicks I made ten years ago that allowed me to not see any adds since then. I wonder why do some people think that it's "too much work" ?

    You prefer to feed your data to Google or Microsoft I guess.

    Ublock Origin. You may have to manually enable it as google disabled it the other day with some bullshit excuse. If you're on phone use the brave browser as it has built in adblocker.

    That's the thing I've always couldn't understand with "personalized marketing" in the internet. It never works very well because it always just markets you stuff you already was searching for or bought.

    Logged in users should have a much lighter ad experience. No ads between posts, no floating video ad, and a couple other ad types are disabled.
