Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.
I can’t really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won’t subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they’re separate free with ads or sub no ads I’ll support it.
Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
You can fairly easily (with many routers) set up a personal vpn to have all your mobile traffic route back to your home network to use your pihole all the time.
Won’t work for like a work computer but all of your personal devices can go on it easy pie. Makes a world of difference, and keeps your traffic more private as a bonus.
