How else are you using the internet?
A smart TV or something idk
You can use newpipe on android-based smart TVs.
Not as silly as it seems at first, I do it :)
uMatrix is made by the same guy I think, and it offers more fine-grain control which is worth it if you take the time to learn it.
With Newpipe + Stealth + Pirating all of my entertainment, I haven’t seen an add in a while.
What is Stealth in this context?
Reddit client
hell no
Agree, but uMatrix is discontinued since years. On Android I use Blokada, it block ads not only online, but also in all installed apps.
I’ve somehow Nevers heard of that app.
There are a few anti features which doesn’t encourage trusting them:

I’m running adaway + afwall but not everyone device has root.
I didn’t know that Blokada trcks, thanks for the advice. However, it doesn’t bother me that the VPN is paid, all good VPNs are, since not all servers are free. On the PC I use ProtonVPN, which is also OpenSource and paid, although it has a free version, but limited.
I do it too!
I made the mistake of showing my boss Pirate Bay on a work computer without adblock, it was pretty funny
