How to sink Twitter, Facebook/Meta and Google in weeks. (posted in GD, Computer Help and Support)

EVERYONE GET AN AD-BLOCKER.
THESE ARE ADVERTISING COMPANIES, PERIOD.

(AND DONATE TO D.U.)

For everyone?
Opera Browser, on whatever platform you can get it, blocks ads.

For Windows users:
uBlock Origin ( https://ublockorigin.com/ ) works on
• Chrome
• Firefox
• Microsoft Edge, and
• Opera

LINUX
Sourceforge says:
https://sourceforge.net/software/ad-blockers/linux/
* uBlock Origin
* Adblock Plus.


For Mac Desktop Users:
• uBlock Origin, on Firefox and Safari

For Mobile Safari Users:
• Purify ($2) https://www.purify-app.com/. ( I paid to support the developers )
• Ka-Block! http://kablock.com/
• AdBlock Pro https://adblockpro.app/ ( free, don't subscribe to extras ) Also has a Mac Safari version.


Android Users:
Best info I could find (add your preferences in replies)
https://joyofandroid.com/best-android-ad-blockers/
They favor
• AdGuard - Free
• AdBlock Plus For Samsung Internet – Free, and
• Block This! – Free

NOTES:
I don't use them, but Twitter, FB and Google Apps are traps, and probably prevent you from blocking ads, ( except by advanced means such as VPN, and DNS blocking. )

Advanced users may want VPN and DNS blocking, but this post is for "Keep it Simple" users.


EDITORIAL CONTENT:
Musk should stick to things that he has lots of experience with, such as exploding cars that take hours to extinguish, and running into pedestrians and buses with his self-driving software.

WARNING
Doing so may negatively affect the California economy.
