Like you're on a new device or borrowing a computer, and you open a webpage - and literally every website blankets your screen with ads every-which-way and all kinds of permutations of springing up to try and get you to accidentally click on something. The actual news article or whatever is just an afterthought.
Literally - how the fuck do people use the internet without an adblocker.
get a pi hole. pi 4 is like 40$. its not free, but if you're watching on a bourgoise TV, you can prolly afford.
pihole doesn't block YouTube ads, they're served from the same domain. still good as part of a multi-layered defense though

are the olders Pis still available?
yes but they're not substantially cheaper and for absolute simplest config (IDK your level of tech savviness) you're gonna wanna have two networking options-wired and whenever they added wifi-I know the 4b's all have it, and 2gb is more than enough.
