Buy a $35 Raspberry Pi and setup Pi-hole; now all of your browsers are fast, as well as your mobile phones, TVs, and other devices.
I prefer Firefox and derivatives because I can hack the guts to make it do what I want. I also run uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, No Coin, and others. I also block HTTP/S referrer, visited links (history visbile to websites), geo location, WebRTC (prevents sites from seeing your private address schema), and others. I also use a proxy server that allows me to appear from different regions. I also block access to font discovery. Yes, I realise this creates a unique "fingerprint" of my systems, but I've never had malware, or rogue Javascript.
This is done for all devices on my network under my control. Needless to say, with the Pi-hole and other settings, speed and bandwidth are great. Highly recommended.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoI run pi-hole on my server and it's been great. Family loves it too which is always good when it comes time to hinting around that I need to do some upgrades.
- cripblip 9y ago+1 for pihole, the difference between home and public browsing on my phone is striking. Considering setting up a vpn with proxy to have this functionality all the time
