It’s my daily news driver and the app I am spending most time in. Have to find ways to limit the amount of sources, though. FOMO is a factor.
Only annoying thing, but I guess out of this app‘s influence is that the embedded safari doesn‘t use the Adblock plugin. AFAIK that’s an iOS/Safari restriction. This leads to huge amount of ads on same pages I open directly in the app. Any clues maybe?
- robin_reala 3mo agoOpen in browser instead?
- waschl 3mo agoSure that works, but it breaks the flow
- trvz 3mo agoUse Pihole.
- d7w 3mo agoYou can try Wipr2/Filtr: https://kaylees.site/wipr2-whats-new.html https://kaylees.site/wipr2-whats-new.html Based on the description it solves exactly your issue, but requires iOS 26/macOS 26. Personally I use Adguard + their DNS. This combination is very good, but WebView blocking will be working with the DNS part, not content blocker. So alternative is PiHole.
- drcongo 3mo agoNextDNS solves this.
- d7w 3mo agoI stopped using NextDNS when I forgot to cancel subscription and contacted then immediately to issue a refund. They ignored my request, were no answers at all. I am not alone, this is a typical behavior. At least it was 3 years ago. I use AdGuard DNS now.
- drcongo 3mo agoHang on, you forgot to cancel a subscription and then expected them to pay for your mistake?
- drcongo 3mo agoAnd you never got your £1.79 back?!
- d7w 3mo agoWhy do I need to pay for the service that I don't use anymore not £1.79 but ~£20 for a year? Okay, my mistake, I am okay to lose these £20, not a big deal. But if the service ignores customer requests to the billing@ email, then that's not a good sign.
