Topic: ONLINE PRIVACY TOOLS + ADBLOCKERS (Read 205 times)

The ads definitely bugs me all the cookies they get from the websites and apps i searched immediately become a suggestion through annoying ads on facebook, but you can also turn off facebook activity in the privacy settings so they will not get any cookies from your activities in different apps and sites.

I guess you've never come across some site that sets ad banner to cover large part of the screen or sites that always redirect you automatically to another webpage especially download sites. I know it isn't bad to support the creator but adblock comes in handy whenever we want to visit website with junk ads.

I get that getting advertisements in your social media is annoying but when it comes to advertisements in which a creator will benefit, I do not use adblock because I believe that you can support them no matter how small is a big help to create more and improved content. When it comes to social media, I do not go that much to my social media account because I prefer personal interactions so I do not have that much animosity towards advertisements in social media but I still use this applications for that, plus I do not put all of my information in my social media account so there isn't that much that needed protection to my data online when there is little or nothing to protect.

I also created a very similar thread like yours here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tips-and-information-privacy-and-how-to-stay-anonymous-online-5201482 but it doesn't matter that you created yours because privacy is important.
You've recommended some great privacy tools and also adblockers here but I'll go with Blockada. It works for all app and with a lot of features.

If you want privacy and want to use Tor, it's absolutely useless if you do not use it the right way. There are lots of thigs you have to consider. One little mistake and your anonymity is over if someone wants to track your identity.

For example, I've seen people asking how they could log in to their Gmail as Tor isn't very friendly with Google services. Well, first of all, using Tor to log in to your personal e-mail makes no sense. It's like covering your entire face with a mask but wearing your ID printed on your t-shirt.

For more skeptical ones, use Tails or, even better, Qubes-Whonix. If you want more info about privacy tools, I recommend this website: https://www.privacytools.io/, it shares quite a lot of useful information, software and tools.

Great tools but I don't recommend Adblock plus just like mk4 said uBlock origin is much better.
I also have these extensions on my browser.

Oh, I love Brave Browser. It could block ads and trackers and saves you time in browsing. Currently, I have saved 36 minutes. Additionally, you could earn BAT when viewing their ads. It's helpful for regions that have this and you could earn a lot of money with that just by surfing the net. I think this is beneficial for everyone.

uBlock Origin > Adblock Plus

1. uBlock Origin mostly uses less resources.

2. Though Adblock Plus is an ad-blocking software, Adblock Plus still allows some ads(those that are less intrusive, but still). Surprise! https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads#revenue

It's annoying when you get served with a shoe ad on Facebook because you visited an online shoe store on one of your browsers. No one wants there data being monitored by organisations like Facebook, Google, Yahoo and some others. That's why I'll be recommending some privacy tools and ad blockers in my post.

1. Tor


This browser encrypts and routes the Internet connection through servers around the world and greatly complicates the determination of your location and traffic analysis. Also, with its help, no regional restrictions on the network will apply.
Download Tor Browser Here

2. DuckDuckGo

A key feature of the DuckDuckGo search engine is maintaining the confidentiality of user information. That is, the service does not track and does not remember your activity, history, and other data related to it. This principle allowed to attract a certain audience.

3. Freenet

Freenet is designed for decentralised, distributed storage of data without the possibility of censorship. The network was created to provide users with electronic freedom of speech by ensuring their strict anonymity. The network includes a large number of peers (computers) and allows you to publish any materials without the ability to go to the author of the publication.
