   It's a good app to block app ads

• ULPT: Skip the last 2 spotify ads by going into airplane mode during the 1st ad

  I use AdAway (https://adaway.org) on Android instead. I don't know if it blocks Spotify ads as I don't listen to Spotify on my phone. If using VPN mode, you can have a quick action tile (by the wifi toggles, etc) to quickly and easily toggle AdBlock in case there is something blocked that you wanna see. - Source: Reddit / 27 days ago

• As a YTTV customer...

  Why are you not using an ad blocker? On android adaway works well for me and is completely free: https://adaway.org. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Change your dns to dns.adguard.com, it helps with the ads of miui, even with recommendations and msa off, I never saw ads since I changed it, on poco f3.

  You can consider using something like AdAway (https://adaway.org/) in VPN mode instead for similar functionality; this filtering is done on your device and a VPN is used to intercept DNS queries. Blokada (https://blokada.org/) also works similarily, and has worked for me in the past. Some people seem to discourage it, I'm not sure why. I'd just go with AdAway. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Feature request: native DNS-based adblocking

  What about installing [AdAway](https://adaway.org/) in root mode? It modifies just /etc/hosts files (with the help of Systemless Hosts module in Magisk) allowing to run any VPN. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• What is that one app you will never delete from your phone?

  No it's not. It's an open-source ad-blocking app that uses the hosts file to block ads on rooted Android phones. Here is the official site and it's available to download from F-Droid(open-source app store for Android). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  Https://blokada.org/ Download this. Blocks ads on nearly all apps. - Source: Reddit / 22 days ago

• Android standard v.72.5x ad lock getting weaker

  You could install Blokada (https://blokada.org) , preferably version 4. It does a great job of ad blocking system wide. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• FBI is now recommending to use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches

  This was going to recommend Blokada as well. But don't download it from Play Store. Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblockers in the Play Store and Blokada 6 is a cloud-based subscription app. Download Blokada 5 from here: https://blokada.org/. If you have a Samsung phone, Blokada 5 is in the Galaxy Store. It's also available in F-Droid if you're using that app store as well. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Anything to do after installing CalyxOS?

  I use the VPN from blokada.org including the built in adblocking. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
