That’s what we will do. Apple. Sick of Microsoft and Gates killing our computer every 6 months with forced “updates” we cannot block and it can’t handle. And we have a lot of memory. Then finding someone we have to pay to cleanup the mess. Then having to re-set all of our dozens of password-protected sites. SOB!
You can block them , and I would propose that if you system cant handle them then your equipment is too old or needs driver updates. And if you are getting viruses, then it is likely some users are "driving" to the wrong sites. You can build a fairly fast new PC for under 500 , and with no bloatware, while i think with Apple your hardware choices are rather restricted.
