   I uninstalled AdAway to give this a shot

   AdAway who? Not sure if there is a non root version for Android. I use the Magisk Module to stay "Energized". Wow, it is hands down, easily by a long shot the best adblocker for a rooted android.

• Use uBlock Origin to assist yourself in your glorious endeavors this NNN

  The most obvious thing you can do is to use a custom filter. There are several great filterlists out there but I know most of them are just not enough for some of you degenerates out there who have went a bit too deep in the spicy rabbit hole. One of the best filterlists you can use is by the Energized Protection. Here's the direct link to Energized Porn filter in adblock format. Just copy and paste this in Filter...

• I'm not worried about manifest v3. hblock is way better than most ad blockers because it uses your hosts file to work. In other words, it's not constantly running in the background. Web sites can't detect it and it works any browser. It's worth mentioning the equivalent on Android is AdAway.

  Same concept, but I personally like to use this Https://energized.pro/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an OPNsense plugin or service that can block ads like pi-hole?

  Use uBlock Origin instead of uBlock. Why? Because it is the real shit. You do not need another content blocker like adblock with uBlock Origin, just tick the included optional filters in settings and also add custom filters like those from Energized. Also, on your phone, you can simply use Firefox Android with uBlock Origin. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Google contacts sync foss alternative

  I get it, but running an outdated OS with no patching is height risk for security, consider the tradeoff. If I'm not mistaken W7 is not supported anymore, meaning you are exposed to vulnerabilities. Consider checking online guides on how to harden W10 or consider migrating to a modern Linux distribution, that can even run some Windows programs. It is true that has reliability issues. VMs are another option and... Source: over 1 year ago

• What do you guys think of Chromium-based Browsers or whatever engine it is made out of?

  Wouldn't a software like PiHole or Safing Portmaster help in this regard than to rely on ublock origin? Source: over 1 year ago

• Do I need a firewall?

  You could look at something like Portmaster https://safing.io/portmaster/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there a free and trustworthy Firewall

  You can also check Portmaster that is still on Alpha, but looks promising. Source: over 1 year ago
