Install web browser extensions
Desktop
- Install AdBlockPlus: https://adblockplus.org/
Install Ghostery- I decided that I didn't like it afterall.
Mobile
- Update April 18, 2018: AdBlockPlus now works for Android and iOS
- For iOS, try 1Blocker: https://1blocker.com/
- I'm still evaluating this one.
Configure AdBlockPlus
I use the following custom filters, which are extreme in some ways. For example, I block twitter and facebook. I can still go to those sites but they look almost blank, which is fine by me.
