Hi! My name is Robin and i am one of the moderators here on r/Adblock.
I was hired to help moderate, develop the subreddit wiki and help provide information to people needing it here.

I have come to this subreddit with a simple goal to help build this subreddit and help teach people about digital privacy / safety in the adblocking space. I simply would like to help people grow when it comes to this topic,
so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask =)

---

This post is a curated quick list (Not a guide!) of FOSS adblocking and privacy tools for 2026 and onward.

This aims to solve the common questions and prevent the spread of misinformation in this subreddit around which tools to use by providing community vetted, open source tools for different platforms in one place.

Any suggestions are appreciated. This post will be updated!

DNS

A DNS based solution to ad blocking is not highly effective at adblocking!

This is because content on a page on a website such as YouTube, everything (Including the Ads) are all delivered to you through the same domain as the website (domains which deliver critical content). This means anything it tries to individually block will often break / block the website.

This leads to obvious problems, which is not ideal. They are however very effective as a privacy tool, filtering mobile based ads, hard to reach / IoT devices and certain types of TV OS ads.

Smart TVs

This means these options require side loading.

Tampermonkey + VAFT Patched?

Quick notice really...
VAFT + TamperMonkey still work but inconsistently (for Twitch ADs).
VideoSwapNew still solid but higher Quality loss when Blocking Ads compared to VAFT (I can link them in DMs rather than publicly exposing the links - rather keep the Adblock solutions private than expose them for Twitch/YT/etc... to access and quickly patch...)

BurntSushi 0.3.2 (Spotify Adblock) (OpenByteDev) - Currently Patched (being worked on by OpenByte last I heard...?)

ADNauseam still works for most things - just gotta keep filterlists updated
