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?

On a computer, just uBlock Origin and it works wonders.

Tangential question - what is the best solution for iPhone? On Androids you can use Firefox with uBlock, but it seems none of the Safari extensions on iPhone actually work, I tried some paid ones too. Brave seems to work decently well, but I have no idea why - if other browsers have some OS limitation, how does Brave go around it?

I used Orion Browser from kagi. It lets you install extensions.

AdGuard is really good, amd almost as good as uBlock for me.

I use Wipr on iOS+Safari and MacOS+Safari. It works just as well as Firefox+uBlock Origin on Windows/Linux.

Nextdns, install profile on apple devices and block the ads on dns level for all of your devices.

I use ublock Origin on the Orion browser on iOS.

I do brave on Android, it just works. If it's on iphone I'd use that.

An additional ad blocker shouldn't be necessary in Orion, as it has one built-in.
