Update 2019: Don’t use AdBlock as they sell your data and allow advertisers to pay them to bypass their blocking. [uBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/) is my recommended go to at this time. Make sure you download uBlock Origin ([https://ublockorigin.com/](https://ublockorigin.com/)) and not just uBlock.
