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?

Not mentioned yet: Paying for YouTube Premium if you and your other family members watch a lot of YT. This is only needed for Smart TVs. It's $23 per month for up to a family of five. You also get YouTube Music as well.

Otherwise, I use Firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger and also have redundant PiHole servers.

It’s not mentioned because we’re on HACKER NEWS discussing adblocking, FFS.

If you're going to pay for YouTube, then at least VPN to a 3rd world country for cheaper YT Premium subscription.

Or you could be honest.
