Yeh except on mobile phone theres no way out of the ads lol



Thanks 4 this


Apple phones have ad blocking, at least in the browser. Isn't there something for Android?

Although yes ads are still an issue inside apps.


Firefox on Android supports uBlock Origin. DNS-level ad blockers (such as PiHole or NextDNS) are another good option.


A blocking solution I've found very effective for android is dns based. It sets up a vpn connection and allows you to edit the host files that get listed on the device. https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66/releases


Since Android 9 you can setup a DoH (DNS over HTTPS) even without the vpn loophole. The setting is called "Private DNS" and may be even more battery-preserving.


Also, Brave.


I use uBlock Origin on my phone as well! Couldn't deal with the web any other way.


Kiwi Browser + uBlock Origin.
