That's what you get for posting about your nice headphones.

Though if I had to look at ads (and I don't), there's worse things to look at than expensive audio equipment.

You wont get the same advertisements as the TC.

Whenever Firefox has crashed on me and my add-ons aren't working I have seen the advertisements on this site and Fandom and Google taylor the advertisements to your location.

For instance I am in the United Kingdom and I was getting advertisements for Tesco's (a supermarket), ITV (tv channel) and and some other UK shops and services.

I very rarely have an ad slip through on Brave, if it does, a refresh fixes it.

Not enough.

Desktop Firefox with uBlock, Ad Block, Ad Blocker for Youtube, Sponsor Block for Youtube and Privacy Badger is what you need.
