Ad Blockers I'm receiving a much greater number of ads on email, websites, and texts on my 27" iMac and 13 mini. Should I be checking my settings on all my devices for any new OS options for blocking? I'm also aware that there are Are Ad Blockers available out there. Do they work and are they safe to use? If so, which would be recommended? Thanks in advance

Viewing....no. Clicking / tapping on a link and providing more information.....possibly. It all depends on what kind of info that you are tricked into providing.

So viewing won’t install malware and it really only becomes a problem if information is provided?
