Browsing & ads
Practical guides to a cleaner, faster web — ad and tracker blocking that works, and how the choices differ on desktop and mobile.
Ad blockers: what actually works
The most effective ad blocking is a well-maintained browser extension backed by community filter lists. Where extensions are limited, network-level blocking picks up the slack — but neither catches everything.
Blocking trackers on your phone
Phones leak tracking through apps, not just the browser, so browser blocking alone is not enough. The highest-impact steps are built into your phone's settings — start there before installing anything.
