I went to the settings in my hotmail account and set my country as Azerbaigan, or something like that. All of the advertisements and potentially triggering stuff seems to be specifically tailored to your location. Since there are no advertisers who care to reach 3rd world markets, your screen remains clean and free!! I'm assuming this would work with those other sites as well.
Try it!!

Hatzlocha,

good idea
you could also change your settings that you are a 90 year old female the only ads you will get are about nursing homes. besides that gmail sends most stuff to spam mail so that is good

Gmail has a feature where a middleparty can act as an administrator for their clients. Example, Eנתיב filtering gives their subscribers an email acount, with minimal features. No BUZZ, almost no labs, etc etc etc. Mybe GYE itself could one day create such an account. Obviosly anyone would be free to open aditional anonymous accounts, to fulfill their aveiros, but the email they MUST USE will at least be clean.

This probably costs money, but the possibility exists.

But nursing home ads have models dressed as nurses and... oy vey my legs are going wobbly....

I am happy to report that my K9 now blocks all google products and services, including google search (which anyway redirected to K9 search), shopping, PLAY (I remember sitting with my mother trying to figure out how to block it), plus, and books. This can only happen when you block google.com.
Why? Because It's too easy on google services to access bad content. It's kinda like having youtube not blocked and relying on webchaver- echh. Webchaver isn't perfect.
I feel free already. This is why I migrated my email to outlook.com. I recommend this for everybody male.
A note about gmail users: I opened a outlook.com account (a very clean, intuitive new email service) with the same name as gmail (except it ends @outlook.com), then I set it to forward all emails from my old account to this one, and I even set it to allow me to send emails AS my old address. (BE SURE TO SET THIS UP BEFORE BLOCKING GOOGLE....)

Wishing everyone much Hatzlacha!
