I wanted to let you know that such a countermeasure is not as effective as confining untrusted parties into a web browser with ublock
I didn't say I use DNS based blocking.
how do you block ads phone-wide?
AdGuard installs a small local VPN server on the device and routes traffic through it filtering it as per my settings. It can filter the apps I choose, has the same capabilites as uBlock Origin and more, while uBlock Origin can only filter content within a few select browsers.
that is basically DNS based filtering. no, it does not have the same capabilities as uBO. Or can it make changes to packets going in and out of the system? I doubt it.
