@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt I couldn’t find anything about this with a quick search. Can you direct me to instructions on how to do that?

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt @reay@mastodon.social Another mobile adblocking approach worth noting: you can run a "VPN" app that is actually not connecting to any remote server, instead it's just running all network traffic through an adblocking filter on your phone. In some ways this isn't as powerful as an in-browser blocker, but it also lets you block ads when the app in question doesn't offer such niceties! The one I've been using myself is AdAway, but I'm sure others exist for Android and iOS too: https://adaway.org/

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt at least a couple years, I'm sorry to say.

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt #FirefoxMobile used to support (with some caveats) the whole Firefox plugin ecosystem, before Mozilla forced their separation. It was pretty disappointing to lose that.

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt This is actually a brand new feature. Thanks for the reminder, I gotta git me some of that goodness.... (I saw the announcement on the _desktop_ update....)

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt fun fact: you can very easily block ads systemwide on a dns level on all android phones with android 9 or up. takes a single change in the system settings, no apps to install or anything, and pretty much all ads are gone immediately

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt I'm still trying to find out why neither Firefox nor DuckDuckGo's browser will let me save pages for offline reading. Any thoughts?

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt Blokada can block many ads in apps other than the browser, as well.

@tarajdactyl@tech.lgbt @Quenby@cutie.city I don't remember not having ublock on Firefox mobile, so a lot of time. Iirc, it was at some point the only existing plugin (perhaps it needed to enable a dev option though)
