Anyone know how to block ads from MS Solitaire? - I'm retarded

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Hello! I have nothing to do at work, so I've been playing solitaire on my work computer, but ads bad. Without paying, obviously, anyone know how to block them without using anything external?

Solitaire has ads now? Fucking Microsoft, of course it has.

I don't have a deck with me, sadly...

You can't even minimize or switch somewhere else. The ad pauses...

All I can think of is playing some old Windows 7 or below .exe or online version that doesn't have the ads.

What? Are you sure that's not some actual malware? This seems like too much even for them.
For now, it looks like this website serves solitaire: https://foss-card-games.github.io/Solitairey/

If you have Windows and it's included, you can try it yourself.

Online is probably gonna be my next option...

I have a Microsoft game I like to play too, so I hope you find a solution, OP.

Not on any computer I have on hand right now, but next time I use it I will have to check lol.

Lol get this shit. Was on this the other day and the internet went down, so I launched it to see if it would let me play ad free. The game isn't available without a connection, and the fucking ads are baked into the app!

MS' official microsoft shop solitaire is turbo canceraids. You can still download and run the 9X or XP versions, just do that.

I was hoping to not dowload anything, since it's not my computer.

Depending on what access you have to your device, you might be able to use Dan Pollock's hosts file which blocks common ad servers.

1. Go to Archive.org
2. Play Masters of Orion 2, DosBox runs in the browser.
3. Go home, time really flies when playing Master of Orion 2.

The executable is less than a megabyte, you're downloading more just by visiting practically any website in current year. In fact, you could just play it in a browser window.

Load Windows XP in a virtual machine and play it on that.
