Edge is based on Chromium and will work with the bulk of the Chrome extensions in this article, we haven’t tested it thoroughly. I’ve included links for both Chrome and Firefox, along with alternatives to our favorites, if they exist.Īs for other browsers, Apple’s Safari isn’t bad when it comes to privacy, but it lacks wide support for popular browser extensions. Regardless of which browser you use, a pack of extensions can increase your privacy by decreasing your exposure to trackers, as well as have the welcome side effect of boosting your security. (Most Chrome extensions will also work with Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi, though we haven’t fully tested them.) Of the two, I recommend Firefox if you prioritize privacy, as it’s much more focused on privacy out of the box compared with Chrome.

This will remove ads more efficiently but will stay limited to your browser. UBlock Origin is a browser add-on and will remove ads based on a local list of content, so even youtube ads will go away. But it will not work with ads coming from the content server such as youtube ads, twitch ads, web TV ads. So it will work wonders with mobile apps that send ads, webpages with ads coming from ad services, and so on.
It will allow to block some ads from webpages and apps as long as they are not delivered by the content server itself. And you can use both at the same time.Īdguard is a DNS provider with a domain name blacklist.
