I recently had to get a new pc due to a smoked windows 7 pc.
Anyway, I am looking for a (good) free or cheap ad blocking software for windows 10.

2nd vote for Add Block Plus

I also use AdBlocker Ultimate


Even with both those turned on, it seems a NEW level of expertise has arisen. Almost every website I go to PopGoesTheWeasel, the little 'sign up for our email' box pops up :P
Acquisitions thus far:

-Slingshot
-Butter knife
-Soda straw and peas
-Sharpened pencil
-Newspaper roll
--water balloon (*diversionary*)

Yeah, I'm that good

Adblock Plus is perfectly fine, and it is heavily used so has pretty good blocking lists and is well supported. Personally I use U Block Origin because it is a little better on memory usage but it does take a little more work to get setup.

Like techguy85 I used to rely on AdBlock but switched to uBlock Origin.
There's a version for Chrome and one for Firefox.

I'm pretty well satisfied with the block list right out of the gate, but I also think it's easier to add blocks in uBlock Origin.
