Adblockers have been common and extremely easy to get for over 20 years.... Why would you choose to not use them?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can you use them on apps?

[–] Griffus@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Personally I've uninstalled most apps and use web apps instead, limiting both advertisements on services, but also notifications, causing me to doom scroll on different apps a lot less than before, but it being more pleasant when I do.

Yes.

I'm my case I paid for Adguard, but I think there are other options as well. Hopefully someone else chimes in with more options such as dns etc for device-wide blocking.
