Yes but you are missing all the hot singles, and only getting the neckbeard ones.

Amount of ads my operating system shows me: 1. I’ve got Ubuntu on an old laptop because I couldn’t get Debian to install and I didn’t know much about Mint. So I’ve seen a couple Ubuntu Pro popup ads.

That’s the worst thing about dealing with Windows machines at work: it’s not just the browser that needs an adblocker!
And I’m not going through 20 laptops to disable that (is it even possible) unless I get paid for it.

Remember when a “pop-up blocker” was a browser plug-in because the browsers didn’t yet consider it a competitive feature?
(Well, okay, Opera and iCab did.)

I installed with a local account using Rufus and I have no ads. Also went back to old taskbar using StartAllBack. It’s just a good old windows box again. Really works nicely.

I don’t really understand this, sorry.
This makes sense to me because most ads/unsolicited information seems to stem from there.
It’s funny that on Windows you have to install a third-party app to change the OS’s behavior. I doubt I’ll be allowed to do that :(

This was also on my work machine. I had to use some utilities to extract my windows key and change some stuff in the bios to disable bitlocker, so it was not a small job but it’s increased my productivity a lot.
