@Mtt 1Blocker, Vinegar, and Ghostery

@jalvani @pratik Since you use vinegar, you should use baking soda too. Same developer.

And @pratik, what does Ghostery do that 1Blocker doesn’t?

@Mtt I guess Ghostery is overkill. I had it before I upgraded to the premium version for 1Blocker.

@Mtt Hadn't seen Baking Soda before. Love it, thanks for letting me know!

@Mtt We have a Raspberry Pi Zero running PiHole -- pi-hole.net -- and it works great. A little bit of setup to get it going, of course, but very little ongoing maintenance.

@camielschoonens @johnchandler I use NextDNS on my home (and work because they let me set it up) network.

@Mtt 1Blocker, StopTheMadness, DuckDuckGo coupled with Firewalla on the network with NextDNS and ControlD. Yeah - super overkill. LOL.

@Mtt 1Blocker is my solution for several defenses, including personal rulesets that block all Facebook, TikTok, and most other social networks. Of course 1Password extension too. Lately trying Vinegar and Baking Soda.

@letters Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. Often that’s way better.
