Edit: Just read the other commenter. Where do you watch shows with your kids? TV or Computer? If it’s on Desktop or Laptop it’s easy af, but Smart TV less so but not impossible.
I’ve been meaning to look into adblockers but I really only use these sites for shit that’s not on streaming services so I don’t really think about it until it arises
Firefox + ublock origin would be your best scenario for privacy and security.
Privacy because all these ads track your page loads and attempt to generate a unique id for your browser based on your loading time of certain pixels, and security because nearly half of all ads (and more than half of all links on google search and nearly all ads on google search) are viral loads just waiting for an accidental click.
I’m gonna be honest, I’ve tried torrenting before and maybe I’m just an idiot (most likely), but I’ve never been good at figuring out which fuckin button is the actual download button and I’m tired of ghosting my pc
In my experience the main issue with piracy is the ads.
Nothing better than trying to watch a show with my kid then having an ad pop-up with a girl fucking herself
I’ve been pirating for years and never encountered an ad beyond subtitle ads. Is this anime specific or something?
Nah the anime sites I use either don’t have ads or have normal ads.
It’s the movie sites I use that have constant explicit pop-ups
Ah, I stick to torrenting. Pirate stream websites have always seemed sketchy to me.
You’re not using adblocker?

Ever heard of BitTorrent? Just get the video and watch it locally
Adblockers or torrents mate. I’ve not seen an ad in over 18 years.

Or just get it so you don’t have ads on YouTube
Do adblockers work on smart TVs? That’s the only time I use YouTube.
If your TV is Android based then there’s the SmartTube app. YouTube without the ads and tracking.
Look into dns ad blocker, you can avoid a lot of ads on your entire network with this "one simple trick ". No additional hw or sw needed.
It’s 2024 man, tormenting a movie takes about 10 minutes and then you neither have to worry about ads nor connectivity for the rest of the movie
Why do you have torment it? What has it ever done wrong to you? 😭

If you set up qbittorrent with the built-in search you can torrent stuff without ever opening your browser
