Developers are going to update their apps to be compatible with 24H2. That will take some time.

I know that’s possible but it’s the fact they’re taking the … I won’t say it, with the amount they try shoving in your face.

It’s so bad, ads block ads, which is hilarious.

In Firefox, I just set it to Strict privacy and that rubbish does not appear.
Firefox, Settings, Browser privacy - Strict
I'd expect your browser to have an equivalent.

I don’t like using them, sites like this one are affected. I don’t browse the net much, I have enough to do.
I’m aware they can be disabled per site but like I said, I don’t browse enough to bother.

"Them"?
It's just a single setting.

Perhaps we are talking at cross purposes.
I'm only referring to that single Firefox setting and it does not affect 10/11/12 Forum for forum members.

All the best,

Damn, you see all of that.
Give uBlock Origin a go. It's for most browsers.

uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker.

uBlock Origin is not just an “ad blocker“, it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Developed by Raymond Hill.

It's April. Don't see the point in stressing over an update - intended for September, but usually delayed till October or November. A lot can change till then. So I'll dabble with this - after or during the install (in case - they change something till then - which implies some incompatibility).
