• I hate my goddamned phone

  I don't know if this will help ease your mind, but Blokada 5 is a good system-wide adblocker app. I believe it's available with FOSS and you can download it on the Galaxy Store if you have a Samsung phone. Blokada 6 in the Play Store is a subscription-based cloud app because Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblockers in the Play Store. - Source: Reddit / 4 days ago

• I'm getting this message when trying to update Blokada 5 after downloading the APK from the official website and using apk mirror to update

  Hi, I'm guessing that you're not using the latest version of Blokada, please visit blokada.org and download it from there. - Source: Reddit / 12 days ago

• Pregnant in Texas

  There's a Tor Android app (might be for iPhone as well). DuckDuckGo has a browser. Firefox Focus is another good browser, can make DuckDuckGo the permanent search engine for it. (Make sure to turn off Send Diagnostics in the settings of whatever browser you use.) Firefox also has a VPN service that you have to pay for, which also has an app. Blokada is a system-wide adblocker app for Android that blocks some... - Source: Reddit / 15 days ago

• 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

• If anyone is successfully using an adblocker, please share!

  u/tweedlepillar has recommended Blokada in the past and speaks accurately but I found that to avoid paying a subscription I needed v5 and not v6. You can get v5 by going direct to Blokada's website instead of getting it from Playstore. I did that and it was perfectly fine. Your device should say your security settings won't permit the install so simply change your "install from unknown sources" to yes while you do... - Source: Reddit / 18 days 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. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose.... - Source: Reddit / 2 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 / 4 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
