Ads? What are these things called ads?

I don't click on adverts. (if they get thru)

However, I do click on 'content', content that is within the site I've chosen to visit.

If some 'content' turns out to be advertising, for the chosen site, then fine.

But please, no 3rd parties

Do not want.

Do not use.
