Probably not a popular choice, but my VPN comes with an ad blocker which works great.
I'm still using Nord VPN as I got an insane deal a few years ago. Now it has something called Threat Protection which blocks all ads whether on my desktop browsers or on mobile.
✨Edit to add: Yeah down vote me. Nord was a blackfriday deal from 3 years ago. Much has changed since then.
I travel full time and I'm now in the market for a new VPN provider. I don't have my own router.. I don't even have a home.
Instead of just down voting, perhaps come with some constructive ideas or suggestions, thank you! ✨
I use proton vpn but you'll get downvoted no matter what if you don't use the vpn the bandwagon likes.
This kind is behaviour is a major downfall on platforms like this.
So, um, which VPN does the bandwagon like?
Mullvad. Its only real downside is its lack of port forwarding and it passes all the Lemmy purity tests. You will never be downvoted for recommending it.
Lack of port-forwarding is a deal-breaker, unfortunately.
Yeah it's one of the reasons I prefer Proton. Not many VPNs offer that functionality now, unfortunately.
