With Windows 10 as OS, I use Firefox as my preferred browser and AdBlock Plus. The ONLY ads I see are from forum sponsors. I also clear my cache monthly.
In contrast, using Microsoft Edge on the same PC with no blocking, the forum pages are riddled with ads and pop-ups in addition to the drivel Microsoft delusionally believes is essential to the browsing experience.
My smartphone, apart from being (for me) an inconvenient way of viewing a predominantly text based forum is also littered with ads.
