Just install an ad blocker and be merry. If this particular nastiness isn’t caught by one of the major ad blockers, simply plug the device into Charles Proxy and capture the ad requests being made, and submit an enhancement to the ad block list.
Ezpz.
Public indignation accomplishes nothing. Direct action leads to results.
- Synaesthesia 8y agoI find videos still autoplay on iOS even though I have an adblocker and iOS supposedly blocks auto-play videos.
- stevula 8y agoThat’s great if you’re on the web, but as far as I know there’s no way to block on ads on a native iOS app.
- iuwhagtr 8y agoYou really don't need an app to read a newspaper.
- selectodude 8y agoI use the app "safari" to block ads on the app "nytimes.com" and it works perfectly.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoPi-hole should. It blocks the ad servers at the DNS level.
- syshum 8y agoNetwork Level ad blocking. PiHole or some other solution to block things at the network level. PiHole is basic DNS, some firewalls will give you ability to actually block the traffic using IP Lists.
- nottestuser 8y agoThe ads often crash the app on my tablet and occasionally my phone too. I've taken to refreshing the content and then switching to airplane mode to cut off network connectivity. You don't get images but you can read all the text as articles are downloaded to your device.
- blackbrokkoli 8y agoYou're just getting downvoted because of your phrasing. You sound like this isn't a problem because people can use adBlock. I think most people who downvote actually agree that his is an efficient counter measure.
