since they make moeny from ads. I use Brave browser. It's built upon the open source Chromium browser, supports all ad blockers, and has privacy/anti-tracking built in.

I'm using AdGuard on Chrome, and that seems to be working fine. (Previously I'd used AdBlock and ABP with varying degrees of success.)
