Audiogon has gone too far, too fast with the ads!!!

@theophile  What browser do you use?  Are you also using an ad blocker?

I’m really annoyed at the frequency with which my screen refreshes here now and want to try an ad blocker.  Never felt the need for one before, but this has become just intolerable.  Can anyone recommend one that works but doesn’t become overly intrusive or block other operations/necessary info?

@soix.

uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is an efficient, lightweight content blocker extension based on the Manifest V3 API. It is designed to block ads, trackers, miners, and other unwanted content immediately upon installation. Unlike traditional blockers, uBO Lite operates entirely declaratively, meaning the browser handles the filtering process through CSS/JS injection, so uBO Lite itself does not consume CPU or memory resources while blocking content.
The service worker process is only active when the user interacts with the extension’s popup panel or options pages.

The default filter lists used by uBlock Origin Lite correspond to those of uBlock Origin, including EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list, with the option to enable more filter sets through the extension’s options. It is maintained by Raymond Hill (the creator of uBlock Origin) and is available for Chrome, Edge, and Safari browsers as of late 2025.

uBlock Origin Lite is praised for its efficiency and performance, with users noting it is effective for most websites, though it may be less capable against advanced anti-adblock techniques compared to the full uBlock Origin. Some users have reported its removal from certain web stores like the Chrome Web Store, but it remains available on others like Edge Add-ons and as a self-distributed version.

i use uBlock Lite on my iPhone.  It works and block most of the ad appearing on Audiogon.  

please [email protected] and complain and include examples of what you are seeing. And maybe reference this link so they can review what others are seeing.  

If you use lousy browsers, you get lousy results.

This.

Try installing Brave browser. You won’t be bothered by ads anymore, on Audiogon or elsewhere, and you won’t have to install dodgy ad blockers.

I’ve been running Brave for about 10 years I think. I have it on my Windows daily driver, my Android phones, and my Linux boxes. There isn’t a single negative I can think of. I highly recommend it.

You are a genius.  Thanks for the above suggestion.  

I added the Brave Browser to my iPhone and made it the default browser in Safari.  I am testing it and so far see no ads appearing in Audiogon.  Thanks.
