Network-level blockers are very crude and tend to cause errors that are hard to debug and fix. I get it if you have no other option and they work well enough with a very conservative blocklist, but in my experience a dedicated extension will block more ads, block them better (no blank spots in pages), break legitimate content less often and when it does be far easier to temporarily bypass.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoI've tracked down the "legitimate content" a few times and these are usually trackers, just baked in so deeply they break the content too.
- zamadatix 5y agoSure but the point is a browser level adblockers can separate the tracker content from the legitimate content while a network level blocker can either block both or neither.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoYes, but I can't install browser ad blockers on gaming consoles, TVs, and whatever other appliances the internet of shit will produce.
