• 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

• Donefirst reviews

  They're advertising on this sub? They can go fuck themselves. I've got ad-blocking enabled (and mods can't see ads on their own subs anyway) so I had no idea. I super recommend ublock origin for ad and content blocking. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Browsing in 2022

  No, it does not. It's open source and non profit. If you want you could make your own adblock with it's source code. https://github.com/gorhill/ublock. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• cURL to add native JSON support

  Firefox has its own "Enhanced Tracking Protection", Which is eclipsed by pretty much any specialized content blocker (such as uBlock Origin). Anyone who cares for that stuff has probably turned it off And installed a better extension for that, And for people who don't, well, it's completely unnecessary. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
