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

Not everyone can. Work machines for instance.

Can’t install extensions on a work machine but you can add a network wide blocker?

sadly, agreed. mindshare leads to adoption, tho - so putting Firefox in front of more faces is always a positive. after all, its how google dominates.

Depends on how lax the IT department is when it comes to random executables. I was able to move the firefox installer to the appdata root, and run a non-admin install to my user profile.

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.

Or a variation of this is TailScale configured to use NextDNS and a TS exit node. That’s for anyone who doesn’t want to maintain a PiHole. I’ve done both. Personal choice.

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

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.
