    Popups suck. You should get firefox and ublock origin if you are on mobile. Otherwise, just get an adblocker if you are on desktop.

    If your access point supports DD-WRT you can also integrate it there without needing another device.

    I left that church after my last wrt router that was advertised as being supported wound up in fact not being "completely" supported.

    I don't think you should be soured away from openwrt completely because its built for specific use cases with specifc routers

    And open source coders can't reasonably create individual openwrt firmware versions for every router out there that quickly

    No it was a linksys issue. But honestly I just replaced it was an Asus router and called it a day. It's a nice concept and works well for some people's use cases. It's not difficult to implement but to me wasn't justified.

    One of the linksys routers that was advertised to support it, but the radio firmware was not officially supported and I had a lot of wireless connection issues so I replaced it.

    Info from official openwrt website.

    It says in bold red not supported. Not surprising for Broadcom.

    Seems what you said. Broadcom wifi chip code.

    https://openwrt.org/meta/infobox/broadcom_wifi

    DD-WRT has a license agreement and NDA in place with Broadcom that allow usage of better, proprietary, closed source wireless drivers (binary blobs) which they are not allowed to redistribute freely.

    Broadcom has not released any FOSS drivers. Broadcom doesn’t support open-source much at all.

    Basically bcm doesn't want people to use opensource.

    I'm genuinely impressed, even with no advert blockers, I haven't seen a popup in, oh, over a decade now.

    Browsers block popups by default these days unless you specifically authorise them for a particular website, I suspect that's why.
