I wish I had the permissions to install ad blocks on my work laptop. On the plus side, the kids I work with are learning that ads are to be disliked. When an ad interrupts something we’re watching, I go “booo.” Now one of my students does it, too.

Me too, what is up with not having an adblocker or bring able to install one? So many ads pose security issues and not being able to block them is just annoying and unsafe.
