Is there anyway I can get rid of all these adds ? Every topic I open it starts them off again, I don't get this on other forums

Are you using mobile, iPad or PC/laptop?
you can get adblockers on the PC/laptop, not sure about phones/tablets

I mainly use my work laptop to browse and they have blocked the option of adding an adblocker so, I just have to deal with it

Gets rid of the riff-raff then 😁

So, I done some research on this as I was getting them on my phone and you can set Private DNS to "dns.adguard.com"

This is done in your phone settings not chrome/browser.

The path to it on your Android phone is (or should be) Settings -> Connections -> More connection settings.

Working so far.

I just tried that on my android tablet, had to end and restart chrome but it seems to be working so far.

I've been too lazy to install an ad block so far as only really get the ad problem on the tablet and not the phone.

Cheers

Nice one Cam, thanks.

I find the adverts aren't shown some days, and then other days I get an advert every page

I am not sure why it's so on+off

I never get adverts when surfing on my PC using Chrome, well, the banner adverts...but not those hugely annoying ones that fill the whole screen and they are boring/grey/text with the close button top right

I've removed again for now as it blocks things like affiliate links, for example Google search for something and click on the 'shopping' results

Good spot 👍🏼

Saves you spending money aswell then 😆

I suppose you can always turn it on and off when needed? Bit of a faff though.

Edit: Just tried it, literally takes seconds.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
