Limited support

Affected tool Reason for its support being limited Fully supported substitute
uBlock Origin's Thunderbird branch I've never been able to get it to block all that many things in E-mails. AdGuard for Windows
AdGuard for iOS I do not have such units to test it with.
Pi-hole It would've taken me considerable effort to set up Pi-Hole at the moment. AdGuard Home
1blocker for iOS I do not have an iOS unit to test it with. Adblock Browser for iOS
Pale Moon / Basilisk with uBlock Origin Very hostile behaviour by a high-ranking Pale Moon dev. Waterfox Classic with uBlock Origin
Brave Browser Did not support adding custom lists, meaning that support can only be provided for Nordic Filters Google Chrome with uBlock Origin
AdGuard Content Blocker for Samsung/Yandex I'd need to set up those browsers on request. It also has pretty limited syntax support. Firefox for Android with uBlock Origin
