- tapiwa 10y agoUse Adaway .. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway It blocks at the Hosts file level.
- coldpie 10y agoSadly requires root, which is a higher bar than I'm willing to clear.
- hobs 10y agoAs the phone manufacturers are the same as the danguses adding ads everywhere, the only other option I can think of is to proxy your traffic through another service that does server side ad blocking, and that seems like quite a headache if you want to, for instance, unblock certain content.
- majewsky 10y agoAt least at home, I do DNS-level adblocking, which should be good enough for all devices that use the DNS resolver advertised by DHCP. (Source code is at https://github.com/majewsky/system-configuration/blob/master/holodeck-damogran.pkg.toml#L289-L407 https://github.com/majewsky/system-configuration/blob/master... if you want to copy this.)
- hackney 10y agoWell if you don't run a firewall, I use NetGuard, you could run adguard. The payed version will protect all your aps whereas the free one just protects a few browsers (which can be done easier with the browsers themselves).
