XAMJ Posted October 10 Posted October 10 4 minutes ago, brazil said: Are there any trustworthy free ad block for mobiles? TEA cause the internet is 99% ads now
DAP Posted October 10 Posted October 10 At this rate, the hit songs of the future will all be ad jingles.
Bubble Tea Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The way I PAY money (youtube premium, spotify premium) just to not be lambasted with atrocious ads, always shilling something abominable like fast food, temu, "savings" on crap I don't need. I hate it! 1 1
Odette Violet Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Use brave and operamini as my mobile browser, works wonders 2
NEX Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Funny I see this thread after a made a screen recording of my Instagram Reel feed. Out of 4 videos I watched 3 were ads. That was a bit insane. Oh and btw, I hope you are using YouTube extension that not only blocks official ads, but also skips the in-video ad plugs by creators themselves. Got them on my pc and mobile (apple users would have to quietly cry in the corner on this one tho) 3
TeemoR Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Yeah everything is so annoying, even Grindr can't be used at this point with all these stupid ads. 3 2
commander Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) YouTube has become unbearable to use due to the ads. My scream time is pretty much non existence there and I'm not about to pay money to watch homemade content. Edited October 10 by commander 1
Katamari Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Yes omg I got tired of ads on YouTube and twitch mobile ads and bought the subs to stop them
zach Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Ugh drives me up the wall. And the ******* ads on Twitter... my god. They used to be fine before that idiot took over, but now i'm seeing the most stupid ridiculous ones. 2
GentleDance Posted October 10 Posted October 10 For PC, you'll probably need to switch to a non-chromium based web browser (Firefox etc.) as Google is aggressively pushing manifest 3 to kill adblockers. Mobile : An easy way to get rid of ads device-wide is to set up DNS ad-blocking, very easy to do : Spoiler https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html Scroll to method 2, select your device and follow the steps, will take you 2mn Youtube with no ads for Android : It's a bit tricky to set up but definitely worth the trouble. You'll get ads even if you pay premium nowadays, Google says they're not ads and calls them "sponsorships" Spoiler https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/ 5

Buffy Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Download Wipr for iPhone. It's an extension integrated into Safari. It's been working pretty well. For YouTube, I pay premium because I use it everyday so it's worth the money.
Archetype Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Install ad blockers on mobile and pay for services where you can (YouTube for example, also Instagram and Fb in EU offer an ad free tier you can pay for).
jezebelvictoria Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) And do they really work on people? In all my years dealing with ads; I have NEVER once clicked on one because I was interested in it. Edited October 10 by jezebelvictoria

They used to be fine before that idiot took over, but now i'm seeing the most stupid ridiculous ones. Please Twitter is borderline unusable with irrelevant ads every 2-3 tweets. Elon is the worst thing that ever happened to that app 2

I get an ad on that like every 15 seconds, it really is making it unusable and when you go to exit the pop up ad, it triggers another pop up to download whatever tacky game that is being shilled from the app store so many bots on there clogging up the grid too 1
Achilles. Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The thing that I really hate is when I go to a website and I get the "it looks like you're using an adblocker!" pop up where I have to click "continue without disabling" and it keeps coming again and again if I refresh or go to a new page. It's made letterboxd for web utterly unusable (my adblocker fortunately blocks the ones in their app). Concur with the others about twitter ads. I am super petty so I have spent years compulsively blocking any ad that pops up in my timeline. I have 35000+ blocked accounts. And they keep trying to make it harder to block them but I do not care! If I have to go through a 4 step process to block ads, I ******* will! My Hulu ads are hilarious though. Either they are not doing targeted ads, or else they think I'm black or latino for some reason. I get an insane number of ads for Prep though, which annoys me. If they can tell that I'm gay surely they can also tell that I'm not sexually active.
