[BVARC] Off topic - has anyone been successful in turning off the Google Ads on their computer

This is a popular subject when I Google it.  However none work.  I tried Bing, since I'm sure that Google has no incentive to give info on how to suppress their ads.  Nothing there works either. Please let me know how you succeeded. Tnx es 73de

So is Marty still at it or did you just send this as a holdover from your "helping" him months back?  He didn't respond to my fair offer of a few months ago.  I didn't pursue it further based your comment about he wants the seller to do everything for him and will be pestered forever.  I still
