Personally I use ublock origin. Adblock sold out years ago and now companies can pay them to get around their blocker.
I haven’t used Adblock in years for precisely this reason. uBlock Origin is the best choice, IMO. Except for a vanilla browser that’s necessary for work (my uni’s systems hate privacy due to the rats’ nest of interconnecting external SaaS vendors), I don’t even consider using a desktop browser without UBO, Privacy Badger, and deCentralEyes.
Edit: typo
Totally agree with uBO and Privacy Badger. Although I moved away from Decentraleyes and into LocalCDN - because I've heard it's maintained better.
I’ll have to check out LocalDCN. Thanks for the tip.
