    There are reasons why you should use Firefox browser or its forks (I use Mull browser) with uBlock Origin.

      I’ve been using it and it’s great, but I find myself going back to chrome a lot because Google seems to intentionally tank the Firefox experience. Also Firefox has an annoying bug where if I go full screen video, the whole app minimizes and I have to re load the page and video.

    Firefox Android + uBlock Origin (all filters enabled in settings except languages) = usable internet

      I don’t even do that for Imgur. I use a pihole at home and set my DNS in my settings to DNS . Adguard . Com. No spaces. I don’t see any ads in Imgur pretty much ever.

        NextDNS allows you to configure a lot of different blocklist, including the adguard one. other than that it works just the same. but i agree, for ease of use adguard dns might be just enough

        I know I can run pihope on my own, but I’d rather pay $20/year and just use next DNS. one less self hosted service to deal with if it randomly broke

          The only issue with next DNS is that it has no access to internal identities. If a system accessed a malicious site, I want to know which system. The best way of doing that is to self host.

        I haven’t tried nextdns but I moved from PiHole to AdGuard Home. It can still be locally hosted and the UI is waaaay better and it offers more configuration, including per client settings. I really don’t know why PiHole is still recommended.

          Pihole seems simple enough for my needs. I can add more lists if needed. I have kids but they are beyond the age of needing to control their online usage.

          I’m just interested in privacy, ads, tracking and malware blocking.

          Next thing I want is to hide my DNS requests from the isp.

            Oh yea - there’s nothing wrong with PiHole - it works fine. I ran it for years. I just feel AdGuard is the better choice these days.

              I’ve only recently set it up so I’ll try some other solutions. I looked at nextDNS but a friend is using it and says the free edition isn’t enough and don’t really want to pay

                Ah - check out AdGuard then - it supports DoH right out of the box. That should help hide DNS from your ISP.

    Reader mode works well in this case, but I can’t stand websites that don’t value a reader’s time or patience.
