Anyway my point is that Ublock origin can be more than enough for many people who don't use such devices. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* Right, but again, thats only browser stuff. If i say android i mean the actual operating system and all applications/services that are running on your phone. My point was that ublock is limited to a browser, and there is so much stuff that can be blocked, more than just ads. Im not saying ublock is useless, or that average joe shouldnt use it btw. I run it on my phone and pc in firefox, but i also have a pihole for so much more. permalink fedilink source parent
