A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You need to start using uBlock Origin my friend.
If on Android, AdGuard is a system wide adblocker which works amazingly well. No root needed, a bit pricy for a lifetime license, but 100% worth it imo
I just use Ublock and Firefox, but how much is AdGuard?
That's a pretty sweet combo, but yeah, adguard will take care of banner ads in apps too. There is a free trial for 1 or 2 weeks, other than that I think they have a monthly license, or a lifetime for around 100$. It's quite a bit for an app but considering what it does, I do not regret at all. You can use it on multiple devices too. At the very least I would recommend the trial to see if it's worth it for you
Sometimes I can't access sites when it's running.
You can turn it on/off per site.
I just don't bother with those sites, ads are a security threat.
