> literally cannot consume the internet without uMatrix & uBlock Origin

hear hear. and on mobile, its painful because I can't have those (windows phone at least). planning on buying a DD-WRT compatible router soon so I can do some kind of router level ad-blocking and let me browse on the phone again

PS: opera mobile for android has a built in adblocker

I use uBlock in Firefox for Android. There's also AdAway to block domains in the /etc/hosts file.

A Raspberry Pi running Pi-Hole is what you want. https://pi-hole.net/

Ok, that's even better. I can get a pi for less than a new router, build my own case. If only my router had a usb port, I could even power it off that

Or just configure your router to use an ad blocking DNS (host your own or use one of those public DNS servers). Works with any router as long as it allows you to edit the default DNS config. This helps a lot when browsing on home wifi connection. Too bad you can't edit DNS config on mobile device without rooting/jailbreaking.

yep, i use opera mobile and also am rooted so use a hostfile blocker (AdAway).

uBlock Origin exists for Firefox Mobile btw, but i prefer opera's speed/ui.
