You'll be laughing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bull@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) You sure? I'm using ublock origins now and it's mad at me. Someone put some code for filters in here the other day and I applied those but they didn't help. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) take the filters out, they're playing a game of whackamole now. Ublock is out for blood and updating regularly to fuck 'em up. Like, multiple times a day. So now you just need to go to FILTER LISTS, expand the section Built Ins (circled in yellow) and update Quick Fixes (by clicking the clock icon circled in orange) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bull@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oohhh that looks positive so far!

I run a PiHole setup at home and never been able to remove the ads completely. I've also tried NextDNS: https://nextdns.io/ but again, minor improvements permalink fedilink source parent
