ublock will change your life then
I don’t suppose it can block ads embedded in my mobile apps, which is where I encounter all of these?
No, the only answer there is to connect to a local netowkr attached to a pihole or something similiar.
This is working less and less in my experience. Most people are serving ads through the same domain they server content from so the Pihole can’t figure out what’s an ad and what’s content so it lets it all through
Still works for certain apps/websites, though
I think part of the problem is a lot of these free games give you bonuses for watching ads. Then the ads they show are awful. And once you watch one ad, it downloads all the ads for when they can’t load.
I think the only real answer is to have some willpower and don’t play the games with awful ads.
Pihole on your network will block those. I use apps and games on my phone and then leave my house and get surprised at how many ads I didn’t know where there.
Look into setting up WireGuard or tailscale depending on what you have available to you. I’m always on my home network, blocking ads, thanks to my own VPN.
Fuck me, I uninstalled about 4 games for invasive ads. Its a shame the open source community and paid games cant be a solution to all this data collection and ads on android.
