  1. Download Firefox (or other preferred gecko browser)
  2. Install uBlock Origin add-on

Really going out of the way to avoid them.

I mean I set up a Pi-Hole along with U-Block Origin, and I have my Jellyfin NAS running all my shows/movies so that I very seldom see any advertisements ever…

Pi hole is definitely great but I’ll concede that getting that going probably qualifies as ‘going out of the way’. That said, it is worth every penny/second spent configuring.

Absolutely. I simply have a deep seated hatred of ads of all shapes, sizes, and purposes (=

You’d be surprised how many people don’t have the motivation/understanding to do even that.
