• Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?

  I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice. In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and when for the other family... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I've used ControlD [https://controld.com/] for this and liked it. Does anyone know how NextDNS compares to it? ControlD has worked well for me, outside a few UI complaints I have with their site. I do have some concerns with trust as I don't know much about ControlD, and I'd rather use the most trusted service for this. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Firefox and ads on iOS

  Firefox is my daily in macOS, iOS and Windows. It is great and I love the syncing. The #1 companion on the desktop is uBlock Origin but on iOS I really miss an adblocker. As a workaround I block adds via DNS with Control D (https://controld.com/) but I prefer an extension on the phone. The Firefox Focus app on iOS does not sync with my Firefox account so that's not an option either. Sure, I could use a different... Source: 7 months ago

• VPN use is at an all-time high – but are people safe?

  That's precisely what I use it for. However, lately, I've been using [controld](https://controld.com) to geo-shift without having to change connections. It works really well for that. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Adverts crashing the game

  You can read about Blokada here https://blokada.org/ and their v6 will also be in your App/Playstore but as said is subscription only. Lucky Android users can keep scrolling down until you see v5 offered which is completely free (not in Playstore btw). Unfortunately v5 isn't available for iOS. It works though, you won't see another, just a blackout timer that runs for 35 seconds (which does also mean you wait 35... Source: 11 months ago

• Where do ads appear in vivo phones?

  But it's due to game? Or is it Vivo thing? Can you try with https://blokada.org (blocking ads system-wide trough DNS)? Source: 11 months ago

• Bit sad innit?

  If you use the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origins extension, it blocks almost every ad. I use the Samsung Internet browser with Blokada 5 and it's a nearly ad-free experience. Source: 11 months ago

• Reddit is officially shutting down ALL third party apps: What this means for r/QAnonCasualties going forward.

  For those on Android, download Blokada 5. It's a free open-source systemwide adblocker app. Don't download Blokada 6 on the Play Store. It's a subscription cloud-based app. Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblocker apps in the Play Store. If you have a Samsung phone, Blokada 5 is in the Galaxy Store. Source: 12 months ago

• I’m so tired of Jesus ads on Reddit

  You can download the blokada5.apk directly from https://blokada.org/ still instead of the play store. Source: 12 months ago
