Is Total Adblock worth paying for?
Total Adblock charges a subscription fee for functionality that free ad blockers (including ProBlocker and uBlock Origin Lite) provide at no cost. Unlike AdGuard's paid tier, which adds system-level DNS blocking and mobile app coverage, Total Adblock's paid tier does not appear to add capabilities beyond what free options provide.
Total Adblock also has Acceptable Ads enabled and does not provide an option to disable it, meaning some paid ads will still appear.
ProBlocker is free and blocks everything
ProBlocker is permanently free, collects no data, and has no Acceptable Ads. No account is required. Every ad matching filter rules is blocked.
