If you need something more powerful you can have a similar setup with Privoxy. I have a script[1] that regularly downloads the adblock lists and converts them into filter/action files for Privoxy plus some custom rules.
It's faster than a browser plugin and every device on the LAN can use it. It has a somewhat antiquated web UI and writing the rules it's not particularly user-friendly but it's working really well for me.

- zmix 10y agoI used Privoxy since the days it was called Internet Junkbuster (90's), but got rid off it half a year ago, or so. It just does not filter enough anymore. Most ads came through. uBlock Origin (Firefox) gives much much better results. Privoxy is anti-innovative, as hell. Where are the regular updates to the filter-lists, like with all the other tools? Or sharing them in a cloud? Still no javascript injection/inline-execution in order to satisfy the complex Javascript ads? Still all being based on regular expressions? Before HTML5 we had ten years of XHTML, that could have been xpath'ed, xslt'ed, used for filtering. Now we have nodeJS. None of these modern technologies get used. It's still C and regex).
