Flyboy1950 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I downloaded AdBlock (Free ware) on my windows 10 laptop (I use Google as my search engine) and lo and behold it`s automatically shared across my Android phone, Tablet and Chrome book. No more adds or popups and can watch You Tube all night long without a single add or pop up. I recommended this to "Old Man" a few months back and he is delighted.

I mainly use my Lenovo tablet indoors for browsing and have just logged in to my Google account and turned off 'personalised ads'. A bit of a flaff to do but it's stopped the drop-downs instantly ! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Just to add,,,, this is only happening on PW and most ads are related or loosely related to the topic and subject I'm looking at. As said above,,,, some drop-downs are the same as the main and at the top of a page. I've gone through all possible parts of Google and Chrome and settings etc and turned off anything that was on and relating to ads or privacy. Perhaps it's a site setting and needs the boss ( @Teal ) to get involved ? Edited June 8, 2023 by JKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
