I see this advice a lot but I can't imagine it working better than using a system level adblocker like AdAway on my phone. (Smart TVs I understand, though mine seem to be unusually ad-less compared to what I've heard Samsung does).
What if you're out and about disconnected from WiFi? What if you need to turn the thing off for a sec to click on a sale/promotion in an email?
- paxys 4y agoWhat system level adblocker works on iOS?
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 4y agoNot sure - I haven't owned an Apple device since an iPod circa 2007. Do iPhones still really not have a way to block in-app ads?
- sbuk 4y agohttps://1blocker.com/ https://1blocker.com/ Is a system wide ad blocker. It’s not uBlock Origin in terms of coverage, but extremely close and it work on all apps.
- akoumis 4y agoOut and about: yeah install something on your phone (or use a self hosted vpn that plugs into pihole? never tried it) Need to click on sale: You can easily temporarily disable it in the web interface in 1 click It's a nice way to block ads for any wifi connected device in your house without additional setup. There are probably 10+ ad-serving devices in my house between the TV's, laptops, tablets, and phones.
- scubbo 4y ago> use a self hosted vpn that plugs into pihole? never tried it Not that it plugs _into_ PiHole per se, but rather that the Self Hosted VPN makes your phone use your home DNS server (including the PiHole itself). It works! I use https://www.pivpn.io/ https://www.pivpn.io/ but there are many others.
