Mobile ads suck so bad. How did we get here?

Android - Blockada.
Subscription instead of one time payment is a massive "fuck off" from me
And they even have DNS profiles for most devices. I’ve been running some form of AdGuard for nearly a decade. On the rare occasion I do see an ad, it’s quite surprising.
I've only ever used the free version. V5
I use personaldnsfilter which has been good for general system wide adblocking, but I avoid apps with ads these days.
Alternatively if you have a raspberry pi, pi hole. Also blocks all mobile ads and does it network wide.
I'd love to, I have a pi 3 lying about.
Unfortunately it will also block the free TV streaming box we have and Mrs won't be able to watch Poirot and I'll get murdered myself
You can set up a regular dns on that device, or you can white list the domains that the stealing box uses. Join the revolution, it's actually quite nice!
Would that it were that simple! It's an Orange TV streaming box, notorious for fucking up with PiHole :)
