When somebody shows me a youtube video on their phone but instead of simply using a browser with ublock they use the app 😭
Kill the app causing it. Turn off the notifications. If all else fails, then you’re left with the dark side of jail breaking and using a custom ROM.
Custom roms are actually the bright side
Some great Ad blocking options:
- Root+AdAway
- Use ad blocking DNS
- Use a VPN with ad blocking
Sucks we live in a world where you have to actively block ads on a phone you paid for with Internet you also pay for, but any one of those options will greatly improve your phone experience.
“What do you want from me, blood?”
I use adguard which blocks ads in all apps but every now and then it gets turned off without me noticing, like once every two weeks, so when I play a game or something and and ad pops up it really feels like this. I never see ads anywhere on my phone or computer so it’s like seeing a monster who got past my defences.
It also does help to check the app if it uses ads and it’s not crippled. Unfortunately most people tend to just jump in because the app looks shiny or because their favorite celebrity uses it.
Me, not knowing where my phone is or the last time I used it:
As long as Android remains linux-based there will be methods of getting rid of anything
“Now someone knows everything about me!”
