alt Hacker NewsI'm using Firefox + uBlock Origin, and this combo blocks ads perfectly for me. Anyone else using the same setup?

I use this combination on my personal laptop, but on my work machine I need to use Edge browser. For some reason, Edge still supports the uBlock Origin extension, so I get to avoid ads on my work laptop too.
+ ghostery + pihole.
I like his suggestion of VPN via cloud. I might set up something with wireguard or tailscale for that.
I don't really use youtube, but my family does, so If anyone knows a way to get a better ui experience as a google tv app I'd be keen to hear it?
Don't forget Consent-O-Matic if you live in the EU+UK, to auto-reject all cookie and GDPR forms.
Perfect combo, where it can be used.
You probably should use AdNausem instead. It uses same uBlock under the hood, but it clicks all the ads. Site owners make money and advertisers loose them. Additionally, if enough of us switch from uBlock to AdNausem (which are nearly identical), it would be the end of surveillances capitalism. It just wouldn't be profitable anymore.
Yes, with Sponsorblock to skip in-video ads.
