I used to recommend uBlock as a no-brainer, now folks really need to change towards a better browser.

Or get network wide blocking. Doesn’t prevent everything but it does prevent most ads. Makes the internet tolerable at least.

Pihole is good for a private network, but you can forget it in a work setting, especially corporate networks.

Something like NextDNS as a no-brainer? It works but hits the limit of the free tier if people use it beyond their phone.

PiHole and a TailScale exit node so you can use it for DNS whether or not you’re on your home network.

I recommended pihole to my senior webdeveloper. She didn’t know about it and was blown away by the concept. She installed it immediately and is now living happily ad free.
