I used to have a "hardcore" setup with ublock origin and pihole (plus a bunch of other tools, a non creepy VPN). Plus, I’m probably more focused on privacy even than the _average_ HN reader, due to the nature of my work, but to be fair, nowadays I’m pretty happy with Adguard (w.custom exclusion lists), Hush and private relay. I don’t see any ads. I do pay for YT however. It’s not perfect but the balance of effort versus results is pretty good imho. The only thing I really miss is being able to disable JS per site, instead of globally, which Safari doesn’t allow :/
