uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker. The full uBlock Origin works on Firefox, but not on Google Chrome. The cut-down uBlock Origin Lite works on Google Chrome. uBlock Origin Lite still blocks many ads. Don't fall into all-or-nothing thinking. Imagine if you could block just half of the ads on cable television :) an improvement, though not perfect.

If you use Firefox, follow this link. On the right hand side, click the blue button with the label "Add to Firefox". A confirmation dialog box will pop up. Read it. Click the blue button with the text "Continue to Installation". That should install it.

If you use Google Chrome, follow this link. On the right hand side, click the blue button with the label "Add to Chrome". A confirmation dialog box will pop up. Read it. Click the button with the text "Add extension". That should install it.
