    DNS, most web searches, trackers in apps, location data, just to name a few. Ad blockers won’t help you there.

      Using an ad-blocking DNS server solves most of those problems. Mullvad offers a public DNS server with no account required, but there are plenty of options out there.

      You should still use a browser extension on top of that for pattern-based URL blocking, but a DNS-based blocker should be your first line of defense.
