Setting Android private DNS to either Adguard's or Mullvad's AdBlock DNS (or whoever else) can help a bit, but won't catch all ads, especially ones embedded like on YouTube.

It has nothing to do with it, but I was commenting on a parent level comment to add more info about the stunts they pull that reduce their credibility, making it relevant to the parent comment, but not the overall post.

Not to mention the interesting bits of info you can find just by looking into the CEO of Brave, Brendan Eich. Plenty of reasons with him alone for someone to avoid the browser and search engine.

The big one that he likes to keep buried is that he donated money to an anti-gay marriage proposition in California back in 2011, which is what caused some of the pressure for him to step down as Mozilla CEO back in 2014 after being it for a few weeks.

Microblogging Fediverse app, Lemmy/kbin is to Reddit as Mastodon is to Twitter

There's a few tools for it but this one's my favorite https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats

 

Anyone else on kbin when browsing on all sometimes see posts from Lemmy that are supposed to have a picture but it's missing?

DuckDuckGo has a tracker blocker in their Android app that runs as a local vpn on your phone to filter tracking stuffs from other apps, mostly just acts like a firewall with their tracker list on it

While I'm on the microblogging side of fedi I'm gonna be staying far away from Threads, I like that there's more attention on ActivityPub now, and they're free to make it if they want, but I just can't see myself using it really.

Joined Lemmy last week but moved to kbin, I've been on the Fediverse for a few years now. First joined on Mastodon, but now I actively use Calckey, Akkoma, and am a mod on a Peertube instance. As for what I thought of Lemmy, I liked it, but I was more curious about kbin as I'd heard about it for a while
