Thanks. For links like that I use Brave browser which has decent ad blocking tools built-in on top of two separate real time antivirus and anti-malware programs.

That program might work well for Win10 but already have a routine to disable what I want and question how well, if at all, it would work in Win11 which I don't use and am avoiding like the plague. As mentioned several times here the borderline spyware in Win11 is embedded in the kernal code so many functions cannot be turned off. The telemetry and other data it collects is intrusive and obnoxious imo. Not to mention it is an even worse memory hog than Win10. I'm hoping Win12 will be better but not holding my breath as MSFT is clearly moving in the wrong direction.
