Try the Ghostery web-browser for your phone / tablet. It is a bit basic but should block some sds.

don't use my phone except for making calls and the tablets I take every morning

 

[Grrrrrr]

I'm trying to remember if Ghostery have a browser for PCs too. I know they have add-ins for Chrome and Firefox. Try and see.

Failing that you can use a proxy server. Google Privoxy. You can edit the config files to block stuff like *.jpg. of course, that blocks all jpg files, not just adverts using jpgs. Trying to think if the file is downloaded then blocked or blocked from downloading ... think the latter.

If you don't already have it then: https://www.ghostery.com/try-us/download-add-on/

If using an Android tablet then go to the Play Store and download Ghostery's own browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghostery.android.ghostery&hl=en_GB

Not sure what this is telling me but the moderators (@ratty ?) might. https://corp.trackermaplive.com/?#/live/overview?token=248624862&url=www.landyzone.co.uk

Privoxy is here: http://www.privoxy.org/

You just set your web-browser to dog-leg through it. The proxy is a bit like a traffic cop diverting traffic and deciding who is allowed past, somewhat similar to an internet firewall firewall in that you decide what you want to let in or out of your computer and what routes in and out you want to unlock.

Different tools require different language. And then the slang creeps in.
