Using the web is basically impossible without an ad blocker, and having a phone is basically impossible without a call blocker.

Spam has taken over every form of communication, but luckily there are easy ways to stop it.

I use AdGuard as ad blocker, blocks ads as a browser extension and ads on websites and apps as a mobile app. For telemarketers I use Should I Answer, it works GREAT. Never ever receive a single call from a telemarketer, they all get blocked automatically.
