From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux: firefox/waterfox + uBlock + UnboundVPN on OpnSense Router (via wireguard if not at home) + YouTube premium (1$ a month payed via india)
iOS: safari + 1Blocker(lifetime) + UnboundVPN on OpnSense Router (via wireguard if not at home) + YT premium (1$/month)
On Safari for iOS and macOS, I prefer Wipr instead of 1Blocker.
It’s lighter, easier to use, cheaper, scores more on d3ward’s ad-block test (but that may fluctuate).
E: added specific browser.
Got 2 not blocked with my iPhone over mobile network 😇 1blocker is mostly fallback, if I have to turn VPN off for something. I bought it long ago, and since I have already paid, I‘ll use it 😁
Pardon me if I sounded dismissive. 1Blocker is good, and so is AdGuard.
I remember those being one of the first ones to do the job well, back when Apple launched content blockers. Wipr came much later, and I only recently switched to it (around late 2022).
😁✌🏻
on MacOS: orion + uBlock + etc.
If you have 1Blocker on iOS, you have 1blocker on macOS already paid 😉
huh? why would I have anything that runs that garbage os? no ios.
and no paid software either.
Lol, macOS is as garbage as iOS
yeah, fuck Linux.
