    I feel like most of the kind of people who go out of their way to pirate also go out of their way to avoid ads.

      1. Download Firefox (or other preferred gecko browser)
      2. Install uBlock Origin add-on

      Really going out of the way to avoid them.

        I mean I set up a Pi-Hole along with U-Block Origin, and I have my Jellyfin NAS running all my shows/movies so that I very seldom see any advertisements ever…

          Pi hole is definitely great but I’ll concede that getting that going probably qualifies as ‘going out of the way’. That said, it is worth every penny/second spent configuring.

        You’d be surprised how many people don’t have the motivation/understanding to do even that.

      Had this bite me once growing up. Forgot to get an ad block on my friends PC and ended up blasting porn ads on the family PC.
