I was about to mention Installmonetizer too. When it happened it prompted me to leave HN (why should I do anything that might benefit YC?) and I forget why I came back & gave HN another chance. Anyone know how to edit the hosts file on an Android device? I already block HN on my laptops, but I really should fix this once and for all.

Some adblockers (blokada at least) do a vpn dns loop thing, and allow you to add host file entries manually, but blokada gave me some issues recently, and is pushing the paid option a lot.

Without root, you have to depend on things like Local VPN (blockada, adaway) or custom DNS (nextdns.io) With root, use Adaway

  Ooh, I didn't think of the custom DNS option, and NextDNS looks like it might be better than OpenDNS now. Thanks for the tip!
