I have a similar setup as yours but am getting no popups from my
browser (firefox) and no ad blocker at all as I m using legit sites
that have income from ads. Why do you think the popups originate from
duckduckgo?
@steef,
Are you actually getting pop-up ads, or are you just seeing search
results that might be considered advertisements as they focus on a
particular company / product?
I don't get pop-ups, but some of the search results might be considered
ads, and, if so, I don't know what can be done about that.
.....I get sometimes results that may be considered ads with the fonts
'ADV' added
Is that the problem you are concerned about?
well, yes. because it is possible to avoid these sites for only one session
using duckduckgo. the next session one must again block out these sites.
that is cumbersome and annoying allthough i understand that duckduckgo
somehow must get paid for.
How do you block out those search results? Do you put something in the search
that says something like "not:<advertising_site.com>?
.........well: on the right side on top of the duckduckgo page you see/find four small lines. touch these and you see a row with further
possibilities. One of these possibilities is the english equivalent of 'overige instellingen'(dutch): something like 'remaining settings'
click on these 'settings' and you see another row with advertenties (dutch) advertisement i guess in english. click once on advertisement
(or whatever) to put them off ('uit' in dutch). if you put your browser off and afterwards on again you must repeat this imho tedious
process to pue them off again and so on. that's it and i hope i am clear enough.
cheers,
steef
