[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 months ago (6 children) ... You guys get ads on mobile? With pihole + revanced, I almost never see ads. permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago Yeah, I'm over here with NextDNS, Grayjay, and uBlock like 'those poor bastards' permalink fedilink source parent [–] Foni@piefed.zip 5 points 3 months ago I use AdGuard; it's not perfect, but it's simpler than anything else and it works, I don't know, maybe 80-90%. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (3 children) Not even inside games? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 months ago I don't play a ton of mobile games, but the ones I have tried: the ads just fail to load. Most games even treat it like the ad was watched and give you whatever reward was behind the ad view. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago Yes, not even inside games. When we're out of the house like during vacations, the kid will automatically warn me when I forget to turn on the VPN because of the ads he gets. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HuePony@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 months ago Only trash ones have ads inside permalink fedilink source parent [–] b0ber@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) Problem is it crashes many apps and blocks important features permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 months ago That's why I prefer pihole over things like nextdns; it's quick and easy to modify filters to allow things through and fix specific blockages that shouldn't be there. Or just disable the blocking altogether to be automatically reenabled shortly after. I'd rather take the occasional 30sec to bypass the blocking now and again vs seeing ads on every possible digital surface. It's been well over a year since I had to do even that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago I just use Grayjay and a few open source apps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] berber@feddit.org 1 point 3 months ago NewPipe/PipePipe gang 😎 permalink fedilink source parent
