    Pretty sure thats basically the best one. Doesn't get picked up near as much as the standard adblock extension and has more features.

    The one built into Opera works flawlessly for me, even blocking YouTube ads. It's especially useful on sites like PCmag, which is 90% ad and 10% content.

    Chrome has been having plenty of "Problems" lately, switched to firefox and never looked back. Much more customizability, constant updates, *Dons tinfoil hat...* not hoarding my data... People always complain about Chrome being a RAM hog but eh... Chrome's never hogged much of my systems memory, so I'll give it that.

    MSI has a wide range of laptops that can support external GPUs.

    I'm looking for a laptop but i can't decide at all.

    Opera is built off of chrome, but IMHO is so much better.

    Reminds me, I use the Avast Online Security addon as an adblocker in Chrome, but it's not available for Firefox. Is there something similar for the Mozilla browser?

    I only use Chrome because I refuse to learn anything else. Chrome's been my best friend for literal years, I don't see why I should change.

    I don't know how people are having problems with it, Chrome has been trouble free for me... except for Canary Chrome for obvious reasons (holy beta, Batman).

    At the time of writing this reply I've been using my new standard browser for like 20 minutes.
    Now what's a good adblocker for that?

    Didn't realize that my PC was now actually good until I played at GTA V with everything on high at 50fps.

    You should try some reshade mods like ultra 5 or something because it helps with fps. I get with them 30fps und everything max except grass and msaa and so on

    Oh, gg ^^ Tbh I haven't played GTA Only for a long time, it's well more fun to play solo with mods , I still much prefer the only og GTA IV, was a lot of fun, un-like the shitty pay-to-win one GTA V... We won't talk about the cancerous community.
