Too many ads. what about the totaladblocker app?

Some pages are 75% covered by ads and it's frustrating to scroll an article in a narrow useable band across my screen.


And a lot of the "ads" are about cookies that I am semi-ignorant about and am afraid to "accept", thus loosing a good portion of my screen.


I've seen positive reviews about totaladblock but don't know if there are bad "side effects" by using it.


Are there some experienced users that could tell me their experiences?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

I use addblock plus on both Firefox and Safari; otherwise the www would become unbearable 😉


maybe this is it—

—Like Spam , you learn to manage adds with add blockers for your browsers

—you manage spam in your email with either Apple® "Junk" or third party applications like SpamSieve



" positive reviews about totaladblock" I would go for it and report back.

I would not worry about cookies.
