> The other day I was trying to download Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I went to “1337x” but I just kept getting ads wherever I clicked.

I use it all the time (today, yesterday, the day before) and I've never seen an ad, or even clicked on one on l337x.

I can pretty much guess your browser from the experience you posted.

Use Firefox. You won't notice a performance difference, all the pages still work, and the web is so much nicer.
