How do i remove all of the ads that have taken over my account here on CycloneFanatic? Very frustrating!

Recommendations for Browser, Anti-Virus, and Ad Blocker (New Laptop)

Finally got tired of putting up with this ancient (8-9 YO) laptop and a new one is on it's way. Reaching out to the vast CF knowledge and experience base to get input on recommended browsers, anti-virus, and ad-block stuff. My old one had the default browser being Firefox. It has Norton which...

It's become really hard to navigate, especially on mobile. As a die hard Cyclone Fanatic person for a long time, i find myself over at 247 more and more. I don't mind the ads. I hate the timing of them; seems like as soon as i go to click on somthing; it moves and i click the ad. Also makes it hard to scroll up and down.

I see now that can be done on Android.

Whatever the hell TruStage is, it's getting on my nerves. Shows up full screen, covering content -- no way to scroll through it, close it, or block it. Just have to wait for it to time out.

I've harped about PiHole, here's a glimpse of the last 24 hours on my wifi. Blocked 57% of the queries whether it's ad domains or data tracking domains.

Yep! And then off to the right is more ads popping up!

Try having a couple of teenagers in the house. It's funny because this fall when my oldest moved out, he called me a couple weeks later asking why he was getting so many ads on his computer. He had no idea all the garbage that I filter out with PiHole.

Sounds like a good Christmas present. I can't imagine what the numbers look like for anyone with multiple kids who play a lot of mobile games. I'd bet 90% of the hits playing some of those are garbage domains.

I agree, these trash ads that likely purposely load half a second later than the page turn me away from Mobile browsing

My work around seems to work. I google cyclone fanatic and do use the app. Might try that. Seems to work

Honestly that's the best part of premium. For how much time I'm on this site it's worth every penny. I'll never go back to dealing with ads. All other premium perks are just a bonus.
