I’m curious to know what Proton VPN’s ad blocker offers, but I don’t see any videos or articles showing how it works. So I am addressing VPN users, because there is no free trial unfortunately to try it:

  • Does it block Cookie’s banners?
  • Is it necessary for the VPN to be constantly activated to benefit from the block?
  • Is it better than uBlock-Origin?
  • When is the page loading speed consistent?
  • On iPhone, does the battery take a hit?

No one talks about this feature even though it is highlighted by Proton themselves (https://protonvpn.com/en/features/adblocker).

    Using it on my laptop I couldn’t really say cus it’s both plugged in with ublock origin

    I bought premium mostly for my iPhone cus yaaay walled garden but it does block most ads in articles. It depends on the ad but I haven’t seen any banner ads maybe I’m not visiting sites with those on my phone

    I mostly notice those ads in articles that have themselves between text Just don’t load rather than u block completely making them go away
