I just updated the app and confirm this. Cool!

Which app is it? Proton Drive?

Firefork

Nice.

Don’t quote me on this but if I remember correctly, Mozilla foundation has nothing to do with Firefox development and was also kind of shady for some reason.

No idea what’s that but it sounds… sticky.

What is this, Deadwood?

This but parrots instead of seagulls.

Interesting. I’d welcome the welcome hub (pun intended) but not at the cost of ads. Disabled updates for now, will wait until friends in my region update their systems 😅

The ‘welcome hub’ update was pushed in the US first and I haven’t got yet - at this point I’m thinking about disabling updates until they sort this bullshit.

But I already got unsolicited news feed notification I haven’t subscribed to at least twice and they cannot be hidden. There was an ad for superbowl and whatever they were advertising (a streaming platform? Don’t remeber) wasn’t even available in my region (not that it being available would make this acceptable).

Another one is showing right now. An ad to pre-order Metro - game I don’t follow. It’s a feed from “PlayStation”.

My bad, didn’t notice the “yard” part. Thought they were talking about sidewalks…

so you don’t have to

I’d prefer if dog onwers did it themselves right away rather than leave it for drones to pick up.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

AdGuard installs a small local VPN server on the device and routes traffic through it filtering it as per my settings. It can filter the apps I choose, has the same capabilites as uBlock Origin and more, while uBlock Origin can only filter content within a few select browsers.

I didn’t say I use DNS based blocking.

Why are you telling me this?

I didn’t say I don’t block ads on the phone. Read my other comments here.

I use Revance Manager for patching other apps but youtube app is shit no matter how much you patch it. Prefer NewPipe or even LibreTube over patched Youtube app.

I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn’t, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

Bottom line is I don’t see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is “surprised more people aren’t using” it like it’s the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It’s best for PC but not for mobile.

For which mobile and what extensions manager?

I’m blocking ads phone-wide, I just don’t use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.
