Ads pay us computer programmer so I do not tell the public about ways to block ads. And I think I am the only user of samsung tv browser.

How? Where to click?
Pretty sure you can't install AdBlock Plus on Samsung TVs. The AdBlock Plus website only lists support for the following browsers:
Firefox
Chrome
Internet Explorer
Android
Opera
Safari
Yandex Browser

I believe the browser that comes with Samsung smart TVs are designed by Samsung themselves. Unless they have started using a browser from the list above then I don't think you can use AdBlock Plus for this scenario.
AFAIK, Samsungs browser is based on Android with proprietary extension and enhancements to optimize it for the Samsung architecture.  There is no AdBlock Plus version specific for Samsung, but you might try installing the Android version which might work depending on which hooks Samsung bent to customize it.
