Ad Blocking 101
A beginner-friendly collection of guides to block ads and trackers on browsers and mobile devices. Learn simple steps to protect your privacy, speed up your browsing, and reduce unwanted distractions.
The modern adtech industry doesn’t just interrupt your browsing with ads. It relentlessly tracks, profiles, and monetizes your personal data, often without your knowledge or consent.
These guides are designed to assist you in your first steps to understanding adtech and ad-blocking. The guides share some steps we've taken to curtail the flow of data to adtech firms, to constrain hidden trackers, and to limit intrusive ads.
We hope these guides help you to learn more about how to protect your data while enjoying a faster, cleaner online experience.
These guides include mentions of some apps and services that we've used at PI. The guides are not endorsements nor have we carried out in-depth assessments. We urge you to enquire into the suitability of these tools for your own apps and devices and to review each product's policies and features. Please share with us your own experiences and findings!
