Various Ways To Block Ads?

[Crosseyed Sniper]

I am currently using Opera web browser's built-in ad-blocking feature, which seems to work very well. How are you blocking ads on your systems / networks?

 

Any of you using one these methods below with great results?

@Crosseyed Sniper privat internet access mostly and asblocker ultimate used mvp before but found it a lil too agresive for my browsing

For Safari on macOS I use Wipr. For Chrome I use uBlock. For Safari on iOS I use AdBlock by Future Mind which is a local DNS AdBlocker and regular content blocker.

I use uBlock Origin (Firefox/W10).

Pi-Hole works good too.  I was able to just setup a CentOS VM on my server and run it there.

Alot of options... Adblock plugins are first what comes to mind, stuff like VPN does too but it's paid, custom filtering software that requires a separate PC/VM

Pi-Hole is a good option, or if you don't feel like setting anything up or want more than just ad-blocking you could look at something like Firewalla (the blue version)

I used to use AdBlock Plus, but now I prefer uBlock Origin, which is much less ressource-hungry. This is especially noticeable on my Android phone with firefox.
