A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Or Adguard (though that's not free). I've the best blocking experience overall with Adguard myself. Actually works in basically everything. Blokada didn't work in chrome properly, so if you use that that's an issue. Blokada is free and Adguard isn't but it has some additional stuff Blokada doesn't have from last time I used it.

Cool how much a month for Adguard are we talking?

[–] BBKuma@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adguard is $2.49 a month or $80 for lifetime. If you plan on using blokada, use blokada 5 which is the free one. With blokada 6 they've moved onto subscription model.

Dont forget Pi-Hole

Successfully running it for years on a Pi and now in docker.

Works great for most things but I have not had success blocking Youtube ads when using the android apps on phone/tablet/tv. I think this is because the app ignores your DNS settings and uses their own. It cant even really be redirected if they use DNS over https or TLS to hide it.
