Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy?

Hi, Just installed OpenWRT. Which solutions for ad blocking and other trackers would you recommend? Pi-Hole is not a option, since I don't have one laying around.

So anything else I can try which will work out of the box? For links and guides I'd be happy. PS: I got dual antennas what would come into your mind to do with it?

I don’t use an ad blocker on any device.

Despite claims to the contrary by people here on HN, it’s fine.

I guess having my device run code that doesn't benefit my experience, unnecessarily consumes resources, and comes from somewhere I don't know is technically "fine". To me, it sounds like a security, privacy, and efficiency nightmare.
