Ad blockers vary in where they work and how much control they give you over filtering. Compared on browser support, device coverage, custom filter lists, cookie popup blocking and the element picker, these options offer practical criteria for matching a tool to your setup. Check device limits as well as free-plan availability and paid-from pricing. Disconnect, Ghostery and 1Blocker are among the named options, alongside AdLock and Blokada. Consider the browsers and devices you use, and which filtering controls you want available.
