    for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

    • configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
    • go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

      Unfortunately DNS blocking is not nearly as powerful as an adblock extension which can manipulate the DOM and CSS directly.

        this is true. however it can filter calls to ad services and block them at the dns level before they’re loaded in the browser
