Talk:Ad block
Latest comment: 2 November 2025 by Drakeula in topic Relevance
I propose a table for each type of ad blocking or privacy filter.
For example, one table should be web browsers and which add-ons and plug-ins work with it.
It should also have notation indicators for desktop vs mobile; OS may also be useful
Examples
Browsers:
Fire Fox
Firefox Dev Edition
Vivaldi
Waterfox
Add-ons/Extensions/Plug-ins:
Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials
NoScript
Privacy Badger
uBlock Origin
I'm on mobile. Sorry.

- I think ad block is an appropriate theme article. Just as we have a lot of articles about anti-consumer practices, it is reasonable to cover some of the common pro-consumer alternatives.
- I guess if others really feel this is topic is irrelevant, maybe we could fold this into an article about advertising. (Which could cover advertising overload, and ad-block as sub-themes. If they got big enough they could be broken out to their own articles.)
- Is there a section relevance notice? It sounds like the relevance objection is to the section about ad blocking features, rather than the article as a whole?
- As far as the table about specific ad blocking features. Is there a similar table in Wikipedia we could link to? If not, could something like that fly there? (I have no objection to the content, just figure it might get broader audience there.) Drakeula (talk) 20:48, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
