Are banner based ads blocked? #20

Open simar7 opened 4 years ago

Hello,

I'm running this on a macOS Catalina. I still see banner based ads like the one below

I personally find these ads even more intrusive than audio based ones because they hinder user experience of the app itself.

Any ideas what we could block in terms of domains to address them?
