Can anyone recommend a good alternative that works well under Linux and block ads and trackers well? In particular YouTube ads?

uBlock Origin for blocking advertisements everywhere, works with YouTube too. SponsorBlock for automatically skipping parts of YouTube videos with sponsored advertising.

Firefox with uBlock Origin has been working well for me, for ads at least. I haven’t looked too much into blocking trackers but I think Firefox has some ability to do that

Yeah it has some and if it doesnt work Extensions can help out. As it uses still the v2 manifest. It is just straight up better to use firefox ( or their “children” like librefox ( a bit hardend firefox browser ). It doesnt depending on chromium, its not a big Corporate that is super greedy.

This is the golden combo in my opinion. uBlock Origin is an excellent adblocker and it works best with Firefox. The built-in privacy features of Firefox are also decent, even when left at the default settings.

Firefox with uBlock Origin ✔

What about a search engine though?

Libre Wolf with uBlock preinstalled could be what you need.

I use Vivaldi + AdNauseam (though they have a built-in adblocker which I have disabled.)
