An operating system with all the usual tools, but without news and ads

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

does anybody know a web browser that is similar to Firefox, but
does not require every now and then to waste time by removing
"sponsored shortcuts"? And/or does anybody know a Chrome/Edge etc.
alike web browser that doesn't every now and then adds "advertisements"?
The platform can be Windows and/or iPadOS and/or Linux. I don't care, I
just don't like ads, unwanted web feeds and all that crap. I even would
pay one time 200,- € or even more, but I'm not willing to pay for an
abo. the web browser doesn't need to be for free as in beer. 

Today I got an ADIDAS shortcut when opening Firefox. Yes, just a button
to open the link and that button was easy to remove. However, for me
that's already a real pain (I really feel pain). If today somebody from
ADIDAS management or a Firefox developer would cross my path I would
turn violent. I'm a pacifist, but I can't tolerate stupid
intrusiveness. For me Computers are tools. I want to keep my mind free
and enjoy my work, but I can't keep my mind free, if news tell me that
there is another war or that ADIDAS sells sports shoes. It makes me
sick.

Regards,
Ralf
