    with a VPN will firefox still block ads with adblock plus?


    looking into a VPN, a topic on which I am ignorant but learning. so if the VPN does not feature ad blocking will my browser still run ablock plus and other security apps I have?

    info about VPNS is overrwhelming one must admit. Using windows 10 here.

    your browser extensions shouldn't usually cause issue with VPN. I regularly use VPN with all of my browser extensions turned on, never had any issues - including ad blocking extensions.

    VPN basically secures your connectivity & hides your IP. Your browser extensions continue to do their job, what they are supposed to. I have my AV turned on & all my extensions - never had any conflicts

    I sometimes use a VPN and when it's ON the adblocking extensions continue to work just fine; there's no interaction between them AFAICT.

    No, a vpn will cloak your browser and browsing, it's like being in a cloaked Klingon warship. Hackers can't find and websites have a more difficult time tracking you.

    We aren't supposed to discuss ad blocking on this forum:

    12. No ad blocking discussions. This site depends on ads to pay for the costs of running and maintaining it.
