Best Adblocker to Use Alongside a VPN
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
A VPN hides your IP address from the sites you visit, but the trackers built into those sites (analytics scripts, ad networks, and social media pixels such as Facebook's) can still recognize you from site to site. Ultimate Adblocker covers that gap by blocking ad networks with EasyList and tracking scripts with EasyPrivacy before they load, and its optional "Social widgets" switch adds the Anti-Facebook List to block Facebook's tracking on other sites. Neither tool makes you anonymous on its own, since signing in to accounts and browser fingerprinting can still identify you, but together they cut down how much of your browsing gets collected.
