Firefox + uBlock Origin
How do so many people still not do this?
Most apps, including Lemmy apps, open links in an internal browser which does not have those features.
You can usually change that in the settings. If not (at least on Android and on the app I'm currently using) if you open a link in your lemmy app, then click the "..." menu (in Connect and my previous reddit app, it was on the top right) there is an option to "open in Firefox," or "open in external app." This will open the link in your browser instead of having to view it in your lemmy app.
I probably should change it, I just haven't bothered yet.
That's changable
Umm, change your standard browser to firefox? Works like a charm
I have a DNS ad blocker on my network so no need.
That definitely doesn't catch everything. I use the same system, though, and it's a must-do for anyone who hates ads!
I'm running it on Infoblox NIOS with multiple RPZs. One RPZ is just ads.
IPhone users can't do this. It's actually only available on Android. I was surprised to find this out earlier this year.
I have some friends who think they are superior because they can use ichat... It's pretty sad. Like... Oh no, I'm a green chat box. I guess I'll cry into Revanced and Firefox for mobile. Plus, even if I had an iPhone, I'd still be using Signal.
You may also be surprised to find out that the Safari browser that comes with iOS has extensions support and even special support for content blockers (aka ad blocking extensions) that works great.
The only way to go honestly.
If you wanna get extra comfy, also Dark Reader.
I use AdNauseum. It has uBlock built in but also clicks ads in the background, costing advertisers money, and poisoning your web profile.
