Thunderage (ID: 0000007c758911ac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 Didn't want to financially support reddit so I downloaded the Ext. works great all ads on the website disappeared. Even un-downloaded it to see if it is making a difference and it was 10/10.

Patrick Town (ID: 00000055f0b2c744) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/01/2021 I suppose I'd support some reddit ads, if they let me hide the ones I hate. But they don't, so F Reddit, I'll BLOCK THEM ALL, thanks to Extra Large Bacon Pizza.
