pfBlockerNG at the network edge and ublockorigin on devices.

My typical recommendation would be:

Normie: uBlock Origin

Techie: uBlock Origin + uMatrix

Security Critical/Paranoia/Just Hate Yourself: uBlock Origin + uMatrix + NoScript

I use the last option at work, and the middle option at home, and the first option for my wife's computer.

For me, a lot of it isn't about ads, it's more about the security risk of cross site scripting. Typically, if I'm visiting a site, I probably trust it, but I have no trust for people they sell ads to. I don't mind sites I trust having a few non-intrusive ads, but of course that's not the reason I use blockers; if a site has so many ads it is unusable, I just don't ever visit it again (plenty of 'don't show articles from ' flags in my google news feed for this very reason. I'll never know if you redeem yourself, because I will just never visit your site again.).

A contrarian take, but nextdns. It may not block youtube ads, but eeeh it works really well for most cases.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
