How reasonable is this decision?
Now I have adblock in chrome, but I want to remove it, and leave only ghostery.
As far as I know, there is a variant with the use of a squid.
But which option is better in terms of flexibility + resource consumption? The same adblock eats 250Mb of RAM.

in the context of the cost of 4 gigs of RAM at the level of a thousand rubles, this is not serious.

iptables as AdBlock is like Rostelecom, one site is guilty, everyone who is on the same IP suffers.
We have already said above that it is cheaper to buy a RAM.

Both iptables and squid can be installed on the gateway, then the client will not be loaded with anything. As far as I know, iptables (banning subnets of advertising networks) and squid can be used equally successfully (you can block access to the same advertiser subnets with ACL rules, maybe there are solutions that automatically update the necessary lists in the form of a module).
