I only have the ublock ion firefox, and ditching chrome. I can’t get rid of microsoft edge though somehow deleting it is not an option and idk how they surveil what I do on firefox when their windows mysteriously open or I am tricked into opening one when trying to access the control panel or the like.
Thanks for the tips on the adblocking dns and pihole or adnauseum. Frankly though, I see near zero adds just with ublock.
You can definitely escape Edge if you use Linux. Mint is a pretty good starter distro (short for distribution, basically just a version of Linux).
In Windows, you can still change your default browser to Firefox but Edge is baked in by default. There might be some modified versions of Windows that limit or remove Edge but I’d stick with using Linux if possible.
