The need to install the best ad blockers and privacy extensions becomes more necessary the longer you spend on the web. As inconspicuous as many online ads are, pop-ups that overtake your browsing are almost too much to bear. And then there is the security aspect of bad ads. Cookies and other ad trackers compromise your online privacy. Ad blockers reserve your privacy and reinstate some sanity to browsing. The best ad blockers let you block frustrating ads, save valuable bandwidth and opt-out of invasive marketing schemes. They can also block malicious ads that infect your devices.<\/p>\n

What are the best ad blockers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding the best ad blocker depends on which device you are using to browse the Internet, with ad-blocking tools available for PCs, mobile phones and tablets<\/strong><\/a>. The best ad blockers work with multiple devices. This gives you a seamless experience no matter where you are browsing.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Firefox Focus<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This is a privacy-oriented version of Firefox with an ad-blocking and anti-tracking package. It blocks ads and speeds up browsing.

                \n
              1. Opera<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                The Opera browser comes with ad blocking features into the browser without the need for an extra add-on. It offers privacy-friendly tools like an unlimited, built-in VPN service, incognito mode, as well as fraud and malware warnings for suspicious links and pages.
