What do people use for blocking ads? Would like to ad something to my PC that limits the amount of ads being shown, but dont want to slow it down too much as is quite a low performance pc.
If you're using Chrome :Adblock and uBlock Origin will block everything except those stupid pop-out videos on sites like The Daily Mail. I don't think anyone's found a perfect solution to blocking those without breaking other functionality of your browser at the same time.
No noticeable drop in performance here and I've been using both for 5 years+ without any issues.
If you're using a phone/tablet thing then Brave browser seems to be the 'go to' solution according to the techie types on here.

Sorry to hi-jack, but does anyone know of a Safari blocker that would work on an original iPad Mini....iOS 9.3.5 (getting dog slow now, but hoping a blocker would help a bit)
Everything i find fails to install as they need 10 or higher.....thanks
Crystal appears to work back to iOS 9. Everything i find fails to install as they need 10 or higher.....thanks

Adguard if you want to do it on the device. Personally I just use pihole and put up with the odd ad when not on home Wi-Fi.
Add PiVPN, configure Wireguard, set an on-demand connection on the iOS device and ..... it's the same. Only needs a single inbound port opened at your perimeter. It also will install on the Pihole device, see Pihole and integrate effortlessly.eeLee said:

Good option for most. Unfortunately I’ve got CGNAT to contend with colin79666 said:

Adblock has always been pretty good, but there are a few sites now fighting back, the Daily Mail website started misfunctioning a while ago, which was no great loss, but Youtube is more of a problem. No doubt at some point they will come up with a solution but what are people doing til then?
