Ok I hate ads anyway.

Can someone please give me a step by step way to stop google ads taking up the bottom 20% of my screen.

Type it slowly so I can write down the steps I need to take.

eg on tv I can't get to 'activity' section in notifications as it's usually covered by by ads I am not in the least interested in.

Thanks.

Install duckduck and you will get rid of loads of problems.

Go into settings, top right hand corner, three dots, click. Go from there, takes a while but you will find the ads thing...

This is the only effective method that I have tried that can block most adds:

Unfortunately you MUST have an Asus router with Merlin firmware. If you do, it's simple to install and set-up and performs magnificently taking ad-blocking to a new level.

 

Have a look here:

uBlock Origin

Available for Chrome and Firefox (mobile Firefox as well)

Nano works for me

install Adblock or Adblock plus, also what browser are you using as some browsers have inbuilt ad blockers.

I installed Adblock but that for some reason messes with my VPN.

hmm ...  strange, what web browser are you using.

you could try another web browser, I use Slimjet, it has a blocker built in. VPN is no problem.

Chrome , with NordVPN.
