In Firefox, select Tools : Add-ons and that will take you to their related site. In the Safari Applications menu, select Safari Extensions… and that will take you to the related Mac App Store location for extensions.

Web sites that are dependent upon advertisement revenue are certain to annoyingly, and frequently interrupt your browsing with their own pop-up scolding you for using an ad blocker. On some sites, this can be more aggravating than the ads you are attempting to block.

Thank you very much. Went to the Apps store for Safari, but to addon on Firefox.

Yes, I know they are dependent on ads and I don't mind them if they are just there. But when scantily clad women jiggle their "assets" it is distracting. And i think that I broke a cardinal rule against spamers: if you respond, they know you are there. I would close those annoying ads and then would "tell google" why I did not like the ad "inappropriate." Which meant nothing, of course, only increased the rate.

Sigh

Thanks, again

Safari adblockers can be found in the App Store. For FireFox you would install one via the Extensions preferences.

Ask your spouse what ad blocker they have installed and where they got it.

Yes, will try the app. m I had a link to a Firefox site but "it is not monitored for security." I suppose I will have to search through their extensions. Thanks
