Adblocking ​

TIP

Don't run multiple general adblockers (e.g., uBlock Origin and AdGuard) simultaneously to avoid breakage. Combining general adblockers with tools like SponsorBlock is fine.

Adblock Filters ​

TIP

Always check extra uBO filters in settings before trying third-party filter lists.

DNS Adblocking ​

TIP

If your goal is to block browser ads, it's best to just stick with uBlock Origin, as additional filters can cause conflicts or anti-adblock.

Linux Adblocking ​

Mac Adblocking ​

Android Adblocking ​

iOS Adblocking ​

Antivirus / Anti-Malware ​

TIP

It's best to keep Windows Defenders real-time protection on. You can select ‘Allow on device’ for pirated software detections like patches, or exclude by ‘File‘ in ‘Exclusions’ for false positives when needed + More Info.

VPN ​

TIP

Outside of WARP it's generally best to use a paid VPN, especially if you have privacy or speed in mind. Free VPNs are mostly useful for things like unblocking websites. Remember to bind your VPN to your client to avoid ISP letters.

TIP

Keep in mind many proxy sites log info like IP address, sites visited, etc. They're useful for unblocking sites, but not very useful for privacy.
