Adblockers or torrents mate. I've not seen an ad in over 18 years.

I've been meaning to look into adblockers but I really only use these sites for shit that's not on streaming services so I don't really think about it until it arises

Firefox + ublock origin would be your best scenario for privacy and security. Privacy because all these ads track your page loads and attempt to generate a unique id for your browser based on your loading time of certain pixels, and security because nearly half of all ads (and more than half of all links on google search and nearly all ads on google search) are viral loads just waiting for an accidental click.

Or just get it so you don't have ads on YouTube

Do adblockers work on smart TVs? That's the only time I use YouTube.

If your TV is Android based then there's the SmartTube app. YouTube without the ads and tracking.

Look into dns ad blocker, you can avoid a lot of ads on your entire network with this "one simple trick ". No additional hw or sw needed.

It's 2024 man, tormenting a movie takes about 10 minutes and then you neither have to worry about ads nor connectivity for the rest of the movie

Why do you have torment it? What has it ever done wrong to you? 😭

I'm gonna be honest, I've tried torrenting before and maybe I'm just an idiot (most likely), but I've never been good at figuring out which fuckin button is the actual download button and I'm tired of ghosting my pc

If you set up qbittorrent with the built-in search you can torrent stuff without ever opening your browser

Sounds like 90% of your problem is ads then. Or going to shitty sites. Get on a decent tracker - even the good old one - and have an adblocker installed

Don't listen to this guy. He exists to overcomplicate things because he's just trying to fit in with other losers.

Download an adblocker. Stop using 'smart' features. Hook your computer up to your TV and get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.

This isn't difficult, or complicated.
