• Google maps App now shows ads, is there any way to stop this? it didn't used to be this way

  Or use something like https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html or https://adaway.org/ or https://blokada.org/. - Source: Reddit / 18 days ago

• Is there a way to sanitize a Galaxy phone from everything Google?

  As far as debloating goes, there are threads on XDA site where others might have posted routines where you may do so without rooting(jailbreak in apple lingo). But if you really want to depracate some of that bloat from your system or atleast have a significant lick on bloatware's functions a) you are better off rooting your phone, again there are a whole bunch of these threads on XDA. b) at the very least I would... - Source: Reddit / 23 days ago

• Does anyone know where I can download an ad blocker for Adblock?

  Https://adaway.org/ for anyone who may need it. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• “He gets us”

  I think you would have to access reddit through an adblocking browser. You wouldn't be able to block ads in the reddit app. To do that, you have to root your phone and install something like AdAway. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Why does AdBlock (android) not work on 1337x.to?

  You found the only correct solution here, stick with it. For root, use AdAway for system wide ad blocking on all your apps. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Pihole as an adult filter? Have a small business, I’d like to block access to unsuitable sites and unmentionable ones. It pi hole suitable or alternatives?

  You'd have to do the same router based change if you were to use pihole. See step 3 in https://pi-hole.net/. - Source: Reddit / 1 day ago

• Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?

  So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting.

I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose.... - Source: Reddit / 3 days ago

• Found a really neat device to make my Synology available over wi-fi, and so much more!

  Now, just like at home. All the devices on my network can see my Synology including my Nvidia Sheild since my Synology doubles as my Plex server. Not unlike the PiHole the MT3000's built in AdGuard has been amazing too! Since the install earlier today, it's happily reported that over 7.5% of my DNS queries have been Ad server related and effectively blocked. That's even while using uBlock Origin as my Firefox... - Source: Reddit / 4 days ago

• uBlock Origin 1.48.* announcement thread

  Never, uBO is a browser extension, not an app, if you want to block ads on your TV you need to use something like Pi-Hole: https://pi-hole.net/ or, if you're refering to youtube, something like: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext. - Source: Reddit / 5 days ago

• Does router in bridge mode cause some kind of overhead/bufferbloat? I need help with bad bufferbloat

  Https://pi-hole.net is where you go to install, but you'll need to do it in that Linux debian virtual machine system, or else dedicate a machine solely to Linux, which most people wouldn't know how to use well. - Source: Reddit / 5 days ago
