Hey all, so I used Blokada (5, I think) for a long time but then when they forced an upgrade I moved on to AdAway. AdAway is great, it’s not perfect, but it gets the job done.

I decided to give ProtonVPN a try, due to recent state legislative website laws. I like it, it’s cool but it doesn’t block ads in the free version and AdAway can’t run at the same time, afaik.

I’ve heard lots of people talking about how great FF with ublock is and I only recently switched back to Firefox so I’m considering giving that a try but I’m getting overwhelmed.

What is the right combination to block most ads as well pretending to be from another state?

    UBlock Origin will block content within Firefox, and do a better job at it than AdAway. AdAway tries to block ads on the whole phone, including embeded ads in a lot of apps. But unless you root your phone, you can’t run AdAway and a VPN at the same time.
