Since the advent of adblockers, I mostly forgot ads exist.
I was on one of those free hd streaming movies and got a huge porn ad for some fake dating site.
I kid you not, boobs and mayonnaise everywhere; They pretended not see it, so I survived - dying merely inside, and the little one was too confused to make out what it was before I seeked refuge pressing home button.
Mistake I once made and never repeated.
I know it's a scenario straight out of a nightmare, and it wasn't that bad but Happened quite a while ago and nowadays I'm in the Plex and Stremio gang but it came to mind again and wanted to spread the word. Maybe it'll save someone.
Pro tips: If you do want to use browser-based streaming sites, pirate an apk for an ad-free SmartTV browser and install it.
I can understand why someone would do that, were my budget zero, since it requires neither a debrid service, nor an own media server, nor some sketchy illegal app.
Nonetheless, I'd suggest make the effort to at least get a Kodi setup with addons. This has the benefit of being able to stream dubbed movies for the non-english speaking family members, which is a rarity in the piracy world.
Edit: Why is it, you can't go two feet into the pirate world, and without and s-tier ad- and popupblocker, you'll drown in nsfw advertisements. Nowadays, you aren't even on youtube safe from it. Though I figure noone in here has to see those hentai ads; lo and behold Vanced, our lord and savior.
