Nothing like having an Ad blocker crash to remind you how terrible some sites are

Ads everywhere! I tried to watch a video on Youtube and saw an unskippable commercial :eek:

On new rigs I sometimes browse the net before installing the AdBlock and just laugh at how ridiculous advertising has become.

Watching YOUTUBE on Amazon Fire I can't find a way to skip any commercial. One that was forced was 3:41 long. So no tube'n on Fire for me!

I have a set of music videos setup on youtube for the kids to watch. It is streamed over a fire tv stick in their room so no way to block ads we have taught them that the commercials will be over in a minute and be patient. Every once in a while they come asking for me to fix it because there is a 40 minute "commercial" on that is actually an entire show disguised as an ad.

I've heard that ad-blocking DNS services work but I haven't spent the time to set one of those up yet
