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?

Ignorant question: what ad blocking is required outside of your browser to require anything more than something like ublock?

Plenty of "smart" appliances phone home unnecessarily.

That isn’t adblocking, though

Well, it's blocking the data being sold on to advertising companies.
