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).

    I’ve noticed the battery life reduction as well on my iPhone but no more than I’d expect from any other vpn, but it still goes all day unless I’m using my device a lot more than normal
