Hacker News Reader

Firefox Focus seems to block them all, I just use that as a content blocker in Safari and am rarely bothered by ads.

I really am not opposed to sites using ads to monetise and resisted ad blocking for many years, but advertisers took it way too far with both the number and intrusiveness of ads so I ended up relenting and installing an ad blocker.

uBO + Firefox reader mode man.. I just don't read whatever they show me if I don't have adblock handy

TIL about Firefox reader mode! Thank you! Option + Command + R on MacOS, will commit that to memory and use that from now on!

If you're fast, you can sometimes even bypass some paywalled articles in reader mode, as some website pre-load their articles before they load a login/paywall screen on top of it.

I block that at the DNS level via pihole. Nothing on my network sees that stuff.

Sucks when you leave your comfy dungeon. Hence I use NextDNS to achieve the same thing, anywhere.

Blokada works great for me.
