Lame.

Try using NextDNS to block ads entirely instead of just in Chrome.

Also, duck.com has a browser extension that can do this. You could also just use their browser instead.



DNS-level blocking is more or less what Chrome's more limited API allows you to do. Full-fat adblockers can do a lot more.


Ideally both.

I’ve found that dns still ends up catching requests even with v2 manifest ublock


There are many types of ads that cannot be blocked by dns-based blockers. Just like there are ads that can’t be blocked by the new “ublock lite” that is allowed in manifest v3.

uBlock origin can do more complex ad detection and removal, and is the most thorough approach for anything in the browser.
