I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is 'ad', not add.

Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It's also a security feature in the post-2000's internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.
