My girl was looking for a dress for Halloween. Yesterday she found one on Amazon for € 35 and put it in the cart, but did not buy it. Today she looked it up again and it was € 50 so she asked me to look it up with my phone with my Amazon account - it turned out to be € 23 for me, less than half of what it’s for her!
It is not the best adblocking by far, that is not accurate.
It is better than the free AdBlock extension, yes. It is not better than AdBlock premium. No more cookies popups, no more floating video players on news sites, no more mailing list popups. These are three things that you do not get with ublock origin. I know because I use both.
I already use adgaurds DNS, which is free.
Lastly, I’m more than happy to pay $15/yr to a company fighting a fight I believe in. Now, I wouldn’t pay $40/yr, but if all I need to do is change my VPN from New Jersey to Montreal to get more than 50% off that price, it’s a no brainier.
My only complaint is they don’t have a Firefox mobile extension, so when I’m on my phone I’m stuck with janky-ass ublock origin and nothing better.
Whatever works for you.
Personally, I have none of the above issues with Unlock origin. Its deeply tunable, so after adding a few lists past the default, it stops all the above.
