Run a pihole or similar
Your web browser is just one piece of software on your network capable of displaying ads and collecting data
I'm a bit clueless when it comes to that but certainly interested. Could you maybe go into more detail as to which hardware and software is needed to set that up?
Thanks much in advance!
So the main software is here https://pi-hole.net/ (and they have good documentation, so I'm not going to repeat the nitty-gritty here)
You obviously need something to run it on, which could be some existing computer that's always on, but (as the name might suggest) a lot of people use some form of Raspberry Pi (or similar) single-board computer.
Pihole will run on basically anything, so you can get an ancient pi and it will still run fine
