Best Free Ad Blocker

 There's nothing more disgusting online than seeing  digusting ads for foot problems or raw meat. When you're trying to navigate a jigsaw, crossword or wordle challenge, you don't need to see ugly ads from your periferal vision space. Once in a snit to stop such ads, I tried paying to hire an online adblocker, but it blocked everything. That didn't work. I like some ads, especially the ones that I use for shopping, but I can't think of anyone who likes the disgusting ones. But after having to tap the x constantly because telling the site why their ads are ugly and why I don't want them, doesn't work for long. I discovered a simple ad blocker that was not only free, but acted as a recycler. I used an old paper envelope that was just the right size, width and length and that also had a self-stick flap. I cut it to size and now, when I see one of the disgusting ads at the side of the page, I pat the old envelope piece up onto my monitor frame and hide the ugly ads and return happily to proceed without interruption, my games of Bridge, crossword, Bubble Popper and so forth. Why are these ads there? Apparently, some wiseacre ad agent, thought that it should capture peoples' attentions in any way possible. The individual who came up with this less than intelligent solution, decided that it could be done easily by installing disgusting pictures of foot fungus or dead rabbit heads and offal. It behooves me as to why and how, any person could possibly consider, remotely,  a relation status between sheer nausea and duly, an interest in a product.  Is anyone really going to get excited by skinned rabbit heads and run down to the nearest butcher shop to buy some? If I were shopping for a company to do my advertising, I would try hard  to find one that didn't need to stoop to such desperate measures. I know there are folks who do partake of such fare as rabbits, but it would be no one that I know, or ever have known. I think most  are vegetarians, so show me a headless carrot, a footless bean or a pretty cut of lobster and I might take a meat-eater peek at it - even during a hot bid of five hearts.
