Stop. Install your favorite ad blocker, like ublock origin. Refresh.

Work smarter not harder

About 2 years ago I spent most of a Christmas sorting out my MIL's new laptop, uninstalling junk and whatnot, and I tossed ublock origin on there. A few days ago I came back to sort out the Realtek audio drivers which uninstalled themselves via Windows Update. I find she has an entirely different laptop now, branded as"Acemagic" but through the magic of forced Microsoft Sign-in ublock origin synced to Edge on this new laptop, and there was no crapware installed despite the laptop clearly being in use for about 6 months already!

TL;DR install ublock origin on your parents computers to save yourself some trouble down the line

If you didn't give your parents computer, digital syphilis are you really a millennial?

Install Radarr and avoid torrent websites completely.

Why was it ever disabled to start with?

Every time a dodgy site has asked me to disable it, it still doesn't work, and now you have a bunch of tracking cookies and has to look at ads for other porn sites.
