Your favorite AdBlocker in the Year 2025

The year 2025 is rapidly approaching.
Please give reasons for your choices before June 2025 and after June 2025.

______________________________________________________________

Before June 2025

Edge = uBlock Origin + NextDNS
Firefox = uBlock Origin + NextDNS

After June 2025

Edge = AdGuard Adblocker v.5.x + NextDNS
Firefox = uBlock Origin + NextDNS

 

uBO has always worked fine here with Firefox. I see no reason to use a different ad blocker in 2025.

 

Not a typical Adblocker but Mullvad and IVPN blocks most if not all ads and trackers that I encounter.
Other then those two I sometimes run AdGuard.

 

UBO for as long as it works.

 

I run AdGuard for Windows along with the AdGuard Browser Assistant extension to add customization for specific sites.

 

UBO in Brave. Brave isn't getting rid of it I believe.

 

uBlock Origin in Linux

XP sp3 Firefox 52.9.0 (32-bit

Secret Agent + Adblock Latitude

 

Ublock Origin, because you can create awesome and useful regex filters.

 

Other: DNS with anti-tracking, no adblocking involved, it triggers anti-adblocker features.

 

Internal AdBlock in the browser. Brave with some customized rules. It's not ideal but it's simple and effective enough for my needs.

 

2025 (Windows 10 1089 LTSC)

Firefox = uBlock Origin + DNScrypt-proxy (including NextDNS DOH and AdGuard DOH)

 

uBlock Origin in Firefox.

 

UBO on Windows
AdGuard on Android

 

I note that in NextDNS you use the No-Google list filters.
In uBlock Origin (also in adGuard adblocker v.5.x) you could pass the Browserleaks test with a simple rule.

 

I've used Ublock Origin (on Firefox - Windows / Android) and PiHole (on a dedicated RaspberryPi Zero) for years, so I wouldn't change that as it has served me well, which I remember how bad ads / pop-ups / pop-unders was in the early 2000s with scummy site owners clearly turning a blind eye to allowing the spreading of viruses hidden as browser toolbars etc, so screw them all as I haven't turned off any ad-blockers since then and will never whitelist any website.

 

AdBlocker Ultimate, Control D

 

I have no problem with adblocker tests, still I had to allow certain google domains since they are used as CDN (gstatic/googleapis). I also have to temporarily allow google for captcha for logins, googletagmaner for certain webpages.

 

uBlock Origin / Firefox on iMac.

 

The one and only uBlock Origin

 

Forum members who assume (but are wrong) that Gorhill will continue to develop uBlock Origin for Chromium,after June 2025,when the extension will be removed from the Chrome Web Store and the MS Store,please keep in mind that even in Github,Gorhil has never made uBlock origin for Chromium available from external sources.

Also,another important fact,the Chromium-based browsers that have stated that they will not discontinue uBlock Origin support for Chromium do NOT have their own Web Store.

Only Opera may be in a more privileged position than others.

I would like to understand,considering the 17 votes for uBlock Origin,what do uBlock Origin users plan to do for Chromium after its development is stopped?



Would they use the same uBlock Origin for Chromium when development is stopped?

 

Some (of even many?) of those who voted uBlock Origin, may be Firefox users. I am one of those.

 

It assumes some but not all.
I could be wrong, but I have the impression I externalized in the comment.

 

UBO for Firefox, UBO Lite + ad blocking DNS for MS Edge.
