    Also second this:
    "Ad Blocker Plus, along with Privacy Badger."
    "Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.”

    I use adblock plus. The only other one I know of is ublock origin which I've never used and didn't seem as user friendly. Adblock plus used to have a default setting to allow certain whitelisted ads, which you can turn off. You can also whitelist certain sites. I used to use privacy badger but no longer, I think most of those features are included in firefox. I use firefox which comes with most default settings optimized for privacy and minimal tracking.

    The DuckDuckGo browser does a pretty good job of blocking ads. Plus it blocks other possible intrusive stuff as well. You can see what it blocks besides ads by clicking after a site downloads. Sometimes there are numerous other sites wanting access.
