corbinHere's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)
Run a pihole or similar
Your web browser is just one piece of software on your network capable of displaying ads and collecting data
I thought this requires permission to a router. Can you do this say at an dorm or apartment where internet is provided for you through a portal
You can always configure the DNS manually on a device you own to ignore the DHCP settings sent from the router and just go directly to the pihole, obviously not as good as it happening automatically, but a good workaround if that’s not possible
