I’m genuinely shocked that there are people out there that view ads. Between ublock and pihole depending on location I can barely think of the last ads I saw.
It's using apps on a non local connection that gets me.
You can still catch most of them using a blocking DNS service like dns.adguard.com but still some get through.
How safe is adguard? DNS needs to be trusted.
