🤔 What ADblocker do you use?

[Saturday 9/5/26]

Need to add one to my Rewards Site Visits!

(1) I luv Kroger where I get groceries every Monday & gas "as needed". Can't beat using your points EARNED to get a "discount" on gas and/or groceries!!! 💃🎉🙃👍

(2) Was trying NOT to "add" this to the Chrome Browser on my phone, but as of THIS MORNING - AARP has "added" an annoying KROGER ad that REstarts for EVERY QUIZ I "click" on. It is NOT "within" the quizzes, but part of the AARP Reward Site. Have to CLOSE every time so I can complete EACH QUIZ. Over the years I have seen posted on the AARP Community Board that "installing" an ADblocker does "prevent" ads. Any recommendations on WHICH ONE to load? With them deleting stuff, my SEARCH on THIS SITE was of NO help. 😞

*** NOT a "tech" person & old = leery of loading some "sketchy" ADblocker on my phone. 😱

Thanks All & have a GREAT Saturday,

Nicole 🤗💛

I use AdBlock on my computer, it’s an extension, it works great. I’m not sure if you can use it on your phone. It’s free. I have it on Chrome and MS Edge.

    Well Maria ​@MariaK113398 , Google says it is NOT "available" for phones using CHROME browser! 😞 I am still "reading". Seems I would have to "change" browsers. Lol, really DONOT want to but "maybe" use a "different" browser when visiting the AARP Rewards Site to earn points. So ANNOYING having to "close out" this ad for EVERY QUIZ. 😤 Anyone have an Android Cell Phone? Thanks, Nicole!

    Okay Maria ​@MariaK113398 , my phone has the Samsung Internet. Lol, NEVER used it, but will TOMORROW when I "return" to earning. Maxed out this morning. Fingers - eyes & legs crossed I DONOT see that "annoying" Kroger ad p.ssing me off tomorrow. It is like WHY AARP? Why "block" important stuff with ads. 🙄
