At the beginning, I have found an issue, where I was supposed to move App Icon from Dock to Tray for macOS users. It sounds really simple. However, project is written in Go which I had never used before. If you are a reader that is familiar with my blogs, you definitely know how often I learn new programming-languages. Going forward, I decided to learn Go lang from scratch.

ublock origin will help.
but does your org do any kind of DNS filtering? depending on your setup (office or remote, etc) setting up something like Pi-hole[0] can offer a tremendous amount of time & hassle-saving as so many of the problematic ads will just not get to your folks.
a more managed equivalent of Pi-Hole might be AdGuard DNS[1].

https://privtracker.com/
The reason I like it more is that most torrent clients can run in the background by default so it's not dependant on keeping a browser tab opened
It made it to the frontpage not so long ago but it'd be a pity if you had missed it
