Firefox + uBlock Origin. Or any other browser with built-in ad blocking like Brave or Vivaldi, probably the best solution for non-techie friends or relatives.

And every other option is inferior. This is what prevents me from ever getting an iPhone.

The best uBlock feature is the Annoyances blocklist that remove many of the cookie banners.

Any DNS host blocker (there are several) for Chrome ads. Youtube Vanced for youtube ads. Firefox + ublock origin for the rest

Firefox on iOS does not have uBlock origin. What is a good alternative for Safari or Firefox on ios?

On iOS - 1Blocker + Safari (Including their local VPN), Duckduckgo browser and Brave browser.

I use 1Blocker with Safari for almost everything as Safari allows a default zoom of > 100%.

Firefox Focus app is a free browser and content blocker on iOS. Or Wipr content blocker.

I has used Chrome and AdGuard on Android that works as a VPN service and MITM TLS. It works but sometimes false positives happens and removing them is a bit annoying. Now I use Samsung browser and Content Blocker, because I found that Samsung browser is better UI than Chrome, and it supports content blocker as a bonus..

Firefox, µBlock Origin, and NoScript: the holy trinity. ;p

Just an FYI, NoScript is made largely redundant with uBlock Origin since if you enable the "I am an advanced user" checkbox in it's settings, it will allow you to selectively block or allow third party scripts and frames.

Firefox with uBlock Origin.

I just switched from Chrome to Brave. The HN hivemind tends to jump all over Brave with criticisms of their "attention token" monetization scheme, but this criticism has never made any sense to me. I just....don't use BAT, and never think about it at all.

If you are on iOS and Safari, AdGuard (free version) works perfectly fine

I use DNS66 and have done for a few years. Works really well with Chrome on Android. If you frequently use a VPN it means you need to remember to switch it back on.

I use Block Bear on my iPhone - came across it years ago and it seems to work reasonably well.

Block this, RethinkDNS, Invizible Pro, Blokada ...

Firefox + uOrigin, Blokada, Pihole

Blokada on Android.

I used Nextdns in the past.

1Blocker (iOS) and NextDNS.
