Best way to block ads in 2019?
Adguard on desktop and Android. Globally blocks all ads across browsers and apps (except embedded ads like IG and Twitter). Truly magical and worth every penny.

Are you asking about blocking ads on a smartphone? Or on a desktop/laptop? The answer depends on your platform, you see.

Blokada on Android + PiHole on wifi. In the really occasional instances where I'm away from wifi and Blokada is down, it's night and day.
On iphone, Perfect Browser. Easily the most configurable and best browser at adblocking.

Why Dnscloak: doesn't route your traffic through a third party with dubious motivations.
I won't ever apologize for doing so. As far as I'm concerned, any advertisement that depends on JavaScript is malware, and I think that my right to protect myself online outweighs the need of publishers to turn a profit.
IMO, profits are like respect. They must be earned, and if the only way you can turn a profit is by spying on people then maybe you shouldn't be in business in the first place. If the only way you can get me to use your product is by giving it away and selling my data, then maybe your product shouldn't exist?
As far as I'm concerned, the data I generate by using a search engine should be treated with the same care as my medical records. It should not be mined or traded. It should not be kept longer than 30 days.
And if that breaks the internet, so be it. You brought this on yourselves.
