Our primary systems are Macs, and using Firefox or Duckduckgo's browser.

As such, 90 percent or so of the garbage is automatically blocked.

Every so often a site won't work well and I switch
to Safari, the browser included with Macs, and I'll
see a half dozen.. pieces of garbage that didn't
get thorugh earlier.

And a couple of times a year, I'll use a semi public
Windows machine at the library or a hotel, pul up
the same sites I use on my main machines, and, well,
cringe at the shitshow..
