    I used to recommend uBlock as a no-brainer, now folks really need to change towards a better browser.

      Or get network wide blocking. Doesn’t prevent everything but it does prevent most ads. Makes the internet tolerable at least.

            sadly, agreed. mindshare leads to adoption, tho - so putting Firefox in front of more faces is always a positive. after all, its how google dominates.

        Something like NextDNS as a no-brainer? It works but hits the limit of the free tier if people use it beyond their phone.

        Pihole is good for a private network, but you can forget it in a work setting, especially corporate networks.

        I recommended pihole to my senior webdeveloper. She didn’t know about it and was blown away by the concept. She installed it immediately and is now living happily ad free.
