Every ad you see is a choice someone else made for you. Unmake it.

01 Browser

Defect from Chrome.

Chrome is built by the largest ad-selling company on Earth, so its extension platform (Manifest V3) was quietly redesigned to cripple filtering tools. Firefox never made that trade. Download it, make it default, and every other step here gets easier.

Install uBlock Origin. Nothing else.

Not 'AdBlock.' Not 'AdBlock Plus,' which sells advertisers a spot on its whitelist. uBlock Origin is free, open-source, and blocks requests before they render — no acceptable-ads deals, no seller relationships. Three clicks and desktop browsing goes silent.

Your phone needs a different tactic.

Extensions don't exist on most mobile browsers, so block at the network layer instead. Easiest free route: open Settings → Private DNS → set it to dns.adguard-dns.com. Want app-level blocking too, inside games and other browsers? AdGuard's paid app filters system-wide.

Windows itself is an ad platform now.

Start menu suggestions, lock-screen promos, Edge nags, Bing pop-ins in search — none of that is a browser problem. WinAeroTweaker reaches into the settings Microsoft doesn't expose in the UI and switches every one of them off in a single pass.

Classified · Appendix

Three more tools, for the paranoid.

The core protocol above handles ninety percent of what you'll ever see. These three close the rest of the gap — sponsor segments, cross-site trackers, and search-result noise.

01 SPONSORBLOCK

sponsor.ajay.app

Crowdsourced timestamps that auto-skip sponsor reads, self-promo, and 'like and subscribe' segments inside YouTube videos. Runs alongside uBlock Origin without conflict.

02 PRIVACY BADGER

privacybadger.org

Built by the EFF. Learns which trackers follow you across sites and blocks them automatically — no filter lists to maintain, no configuration.

03 DUCKDUCKGO ESSENTIALS

duckduckgo.com/app

Forces every site to load its encrypted version and grades trackers on the page in real time. Good second layer for anyone still defaulting to Google search.
