ublock and pihole here. Pihole is usually blocking 20-30% of all DNS queries for my home network. Smart TVs are the worst offender.
Same, only I use AdGuard Home instead of PiHole
Is AdBlock plus actually open source?
I think we don't give gradual acclimatisation enough credit here. Most of my students have never heard of Firefox and tools like ublock origin because they're acclimatised to the mobile ecosystem
"How do I install something? I use the app store."
"Oh, but I already have the internet on my phone, why would I want a 3rd party app to use the internet" (think old people who mix up AOL with the internet in reverse!)
As soon as I show them, they convert in seconds - they've forgotten web pages without adverts can exist.
No idea what adguard is, I used adblock plus before thought I'm not using it now as for why I'm not using it I have no idea but I think some ads were getting through otherwise I would not have switched form it. For a few years now I use Ublock and never had a problem with it, in fact it's the first thing I install on any machine after I finish install an os on it.
What's private DNS and how do I use it?
I have Adguard and I believe it's using Google DNS.
Thanks.
I use mullvad dns
All you do is set your DNS servers to dns.adguard-dns.com, and now ads are blocked system-wide. Even works on Android.
Hey thanks, I found it in the settings.
Lookup nextdns. They have guides
Y'all ever try NoScript too? Freaking wild how some sites need to use like 30 shady JavaScript modules just to function.
It's a burden, but it blocks things like the "invisible facebook pixel" for instance...
I like noscript. It's pretty aggressive, but so are the trackers.
I use it and by default I block everything
I used to use it all the time, but after a few years I got tired of constantly playing a game of "which blocked script is breaking everything this time" every time I visit a new website.
I wish I could remember the discussion (ADHD), but I remember someone pointing out to me a few years back that Ublock Origin makes NoScript redundant. It does have the ability to block scripts, it just enables them by default instead of blocking them. Don't quote me on this but I believe the reason was because it only blocks malicious Javascript.
I use noscript and ads don't load unless I whitelist them. Videos won't autoplay unless I whitelist them. I am the internet's bouncer
I had to force my wife to install one, like bish how can you even handle the amount of ads you get spammed with.
