Regular reminder for you, that there are many tools available to make your (web-)browsing experience much better and more hassle-free.

One of the easiest to use is uBlock Origin, an open source ad-, content- and scriptblocker.

It helps to reduce resource- and bandwith usage of your device, and can remove annoying things from websites like ads (works on YT), trackers and even most of the cookie-banners.

Available for most Browsers which are Gecko- (also their mobile versions), and Chromium-based.

If you already know about it, spread the word with your friends, colleagues, family and other people that may not already know about it.
